Hello!

Regenerating ..... your program

You send cattle huge distances at a significant cost and hope... that the weather brings moisture, that the cattle will gain, that the prices hold till you sell. So many hopes!

We can help with that!

PROFITABLE & EASY

We make it

You know that shipping them will be worth it - they'll gain as much in two months as they will all summer under range conditions.
There's no adjusting to different diets and such: they'll put their heads down and eat
They'll be handled in facilities designed to lower stress by people who see keeping their stress low as a primary mission. No hotshots needed here.
We'll use your protocols, maybe with an adjustment for local conditions, and you'll have online access to individual records.
We'll weigh monthly to ensure that you're aware of how things are going.

We're essentially a grass-based feedyard, so we charge similarly. It's all based on Cost of Gain (C of G) and Average Daily Gain (ADG). In 2026 we believe we can save you about 20% of the C of G compared to a range - based grazing program. It works as shown below.

On Range

1) - Assumes 3 lb. Average Daily Gain @ Fatted Calf vs. 1.5 lb ADG on range & a five month season for both.

2) Assumes a Cost of Gain that averages $.90 @ Fatted Calf and a daily cost of $1.5 on range

2026 PROGRAM

DATES: We'll be ready for cattle about the first week of June and can keep them until the end of November

CHARGES: We weigh cattle at the end of every month and send you a bill based on their weight gain. The charge is based on the previous months weight. The charges are:

600 - 900 lbs (at end of previous month) - $1.00/lb of gain

900 lbs + - $1.20/lb of gain

BILLING: Bills are generated off the monthly weight of your cattle. The billing would work as follows, using end of July

Weight at end of June: 690 lbs

Billing rate for the month of July: $1.00/lb of gain

Weight at end of July: 780 (net gain of 90 lbs. from end of June to end of July)

Bill: $90.00 - (90 lbs of gain x $1.00)

We use a certified scale and weigh every animal in batches of roughly 10 at a time. Bills are due and payable within ten days of submission to you.

DEPOSIT: We charge at deposit of 50% of the projected last months gain. So, for example, if the cattle were expected to gain 100 lbs in the last month and they were at the top cost of gain, the total bill (per head) would be $90 and we would require a deposit of half of that or $45.00. At the end of the grazing period we do a final bill for that month and net the deposit out of the bill. The bill is due and payable prior to the cattle leaving the property.

When cattle arrive for a scheduled grazing period we expect them to stay for the full period. The contract we sign with you details how this will be handled.

OTHER DETAILS: We work with a local vet on our health protocols, but are happy to use yours as long as they don't conflict with ours dramatically.

- While we're not certified organic, we don't do anything that would disqualify us from being organic.

- If you are selling beef and need us to pull cattle weekly to ship finished animals to you for processing we can do that.

- We don't charge for doctoring cattle (aside from the cost of the meds themselves) or processing them (as a group) in general. We reserve the right to charge if you want them processed more than four times (outside of weighing them) during the grazing period.

- Depending on your needs we can use a UHF tag and weigh the cattle individually.
