Okay from lot's of reading I gather that I need to see what the slaughter houses are looking for inorder to gauge the qaulity of my cattle. I also understand that I should get involved in the Ranch to Rail program inorder to follow my cattle through slaughter. In the interm how would I go about determing where the cattle are going from the auctions ??? In other words I would like to see which feedlots the auction houses in South and Central Texas are catering too and then which slaughter houses are being serviced by the feed lots. From the feedlots of course I would like to trace the purveyors, etc.. Seems like there ought to be an easier way than spending the next 30 years in trial and error. I would like to go on a field trip I guess and learn as much as possible inorder to guide my purchasing and breeding decisions. Whether or not I retain ownership or not It seems like I need to know the goals of the end consumer.
Any thoughts ?
Thanx in advance
