The Lasater Philosophy of Cattle Raising

[Stocker Steve]

I am reading a copy on how the Beefmaster breed was developed, and I am stuck by that while the breeds are different - - but the CO geographical location and the hard cull'in criteria are so similar to Pharo Cattle Company.

Is Beefmaster registration growing or are they the wrong color for today?

They are good culling criteria! :2cents:

I thought Lasater and Pharo was right opposite.

Lasater was for bigger is better, where Pharo was looking for smaller and more economical.

Now I do see where they are together on culling and paying attention to nature.

:cowboy: & :drink: and don't come home at all!

if folks would quit treating BM like longhorns, and got back to lasaters type of animal...... color wouldnt be a problem...

http://www.irishblacks.com/trademarked.html maybe if lasater had done something like this... he could have put restrictions on breeding ,,, he might have suffered a little business.. but the breed wouldnt have

Reading what they have to say about these cattle they seem to be a "miracle" breed of some sorts.

Looking for them on The Cattle Range only produced this one.

I'm terribly excited about this bull.

The trademark agreement says you can't cross em and sell the crossbreeds for bulls. That one is purebred.

With bulls like that, maybe the agreement should make crossbreeding mandatory!

I have seen that cowherd and there are some incredible bulls there, Red included. If they don't come from Maurice or Guy then who knows how they messed them up.

 

[Stocker Steve]

I finished part 1 of the book and thought I was on the right track by following half of the principles. Then I read the part 2 - - leasing ranches and leveraging cattle to sell premium breeding stock w/o much equity. Looks like I may not become a professional cattleman after all.

A good link andy; we saw it last time too. :hide:

They are still growing but at a slower rate, The cows have great longevity 14 plus years, colors hurt them in the past with the sb and the Angus Marketing Machine( Which is awesome). Some breeders are going for the Red phenotype. I do not believ the smaller breeders are following the culling practices that he instills. They work great for me going from birth to freezer, I have less inputs with BM than angus ( I have tried both).http://www.nolanryanbeef.com

The three breeds that make up Beefmaster have no black in them but once a Brangus bull got slipped into the mix-now you have Black Beefmasters..................imagine that.
