There are more ways than one to improve your breeding herd, and each is just as important as the other:

  • Good herd health program
  • Excellent nutritional program
  • Breeding management (preg testing, semen testing, shortened breeding and calving period, etc.)
  • Strict culling management
  • Select for desirable traits for low cost and effective cow-calf management

Feeding is the fundamental part of improving cattle breeding. Improving the herd's overall nutrition with better pasture management and a great mineral program is a part of improving cattle breeding for both cows and bulls. Rations should be based on the cow's needs, but also on what nature can provide if you are raising cattle according to Nature's laws.
