Greetings from Doug Maag of Y1 Farms FeedlotSummer has finally arrived; the crops are all growing nicely, since the temperatures have been between 85 & 90 degrees. The second cutting of hay was finished last week and grain harvest has started. The wheat crop is experiencing better yields due to the ideal growing weather that we’ve had. The corn crop is looking good however, it is 7 to 10 days behind schedule due to a late spring. This is the time of the year when feedlot numbers are at their lowest. Crews are busy hauling manure and preparing mounds in the pens. When I say mounds, I am talking about drying the manure, dozing it up in piles, and rounding the tops so cattle will have a good dry area to lay on when winter weather sets in. It is important that cattle have an adequate dry area when it snows & rains. These mounds will be scraped off when the pens become wet, leaving the animals with a dry place to lie. The cattle on pas-ture have started to come into the feedlot this week. They are looking really good and seem to be heavier than usual, due to the good grass conditions this year. Prices for calves and yearlings have been at an all time high. With cattle numbers being at such a low level this should produce higher fat cattle prices in the future, and hopefully every segment of the cattle industry will see a profit!
We are excited to announce that Painted Hills Natural Beef now offers 100 % grass-fed beef in addition to our Choice Grade Natural Beef Program. Using the same great cattle as our regular natural program however, these cattle are simply maintained on a grass fed diet for those customers looking for the unique characteristics of grass fed beef.
