[QUOTE="Vicki Johnson, post: 657088, member: 11944"] Thanks for the funny comments, gentlemen ! Actually, the average premium per Piedmontese-cross from recent loads to Laura's Lean Beef are $60./head and up (over market) For years producers have been getting load averages of between $60 - $92. per head in premiums from LLB or Montana Ranch Brand for the Pied-crosses. (LLB yield grade averages of YG1.3 to YG1.8) [color=#0000BF]Quote from Don Knore of Laura's Lean Beef, April 24, 2009 "All of us will benefit if the number of commercial Piedmontese cattle can be increased in North America."[/color] If profitability is of interest to open minded producers, attending the Field Days is a great way to learn more and then decide for yourself if raising all natural Piedmontese is a fit for your program. The presentations from the USDA MARC during Field Days will cover the results of the years of Germplasm Evaluations comparing Piedmontese to most other mainstream sire breeds - good un-biased information that confirms the breed calves equally as easily as Angus/Hereford as a terminal cross, and consistently produces the highest percent of retail product, and beef that is also improved in tenderness levels. [color=#000080]Quote from USDA MARC "These results indicate that mh/mh Piedmontese bulls could be used as terminal sires to produce mh/+ progeny with improved tenderness in at least four muscles, resulting in a substantial increase in carcass value in addition to the previously demonstrated advantage in yield of saleable product."[/color] Montana Ranch Brand certified Piedmontese beef will be served at the Field Days for dinner on June 5th, and the pre-registration policy is there so that all four meals can be properly catered. (The $60. fee equals a cost of $15/meal .... ) Again, everyone is welcome to attend, but unfortunately if you do not pre-register then you may have to find lunches and dinners on your own both days.
