ARPA is coordinating a planned feedlot program for Red Poll steers. A feedlot has been located that is willing to cooperate. We are striving to gauge the amount of interest there is.
Objectives:
- To evaluate Red Poll steers in a commercial feedlot
- To obtain carcass data
- To allow Red Poll breeders the ability to present unbiased facts about Red Polls in a commercial feedlot
Basic Information:
Starting date: October 2018
Preferred weight: 500-600#
Retain ownership- monthly bill for feed and yardage
Preconditioned (vac and feedbunk adjusted)- this should minimalize problems at feedlot
Interested? We need to know if there is enough interest in pursuing this endeavor. So please contact Kyle or Dan.
