[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1487741, member: 968"] Sounds like you are doing a great job. I have retained ownership, but it was through Cornell Univ. We got 28 day reports. Could compare how our cattle performed against all their contemporaries. Then they were harvested "as ready" until a cutoff date and the rest were sent for harvest. We got all the carcass data along with the rest of the group to compare against. Was a great program. I consigned steers for maybe 7 years. They no longer have the program. You might check with your local cooperative extension to see if there is any program in your area. We paid so much up front, then the rest came out of your check at the end. It was a great program. When people made statements like "Simmental can't work on the feedlots - or Simmental won't grade", I can pull out my data and prove what my herd has done. Or, is there any feedlot in your area that you could sell to and they would give you the data after they harvested? I totally understand why you would want the data for your herd. [/QUOTE]
