Cattle Breeder Glen Jones

[Brian Hale] Here's our co-host David Woodruff with Glenn Jones from Iowa.

[David Woodruff] So what kind of animal you got? What breed of cattle?

[Glen Jones] I buy 100% black bulls and Angus and I've got some Charolais, a little bit of Charolais back in my herd. I've only got one white cow right now. So when she's gone, that'll be the last white one. And I've got a little bit of, I've got some black baldies because I've got some herfords showing in the background, you know, 20 years ago. But for the most part, I'm running black and using 100% black bulls. I've got, right now, everything is here at home and I've got the heifers in a separate lot and I've got the other 85 head on a bigger lot. So they're getting fed different rations and they're getting fed better than the rest of  them. I'm trying to grow them, you know, and get them as big as I can. But they'll go to grass in May. I will take them through the, probably through the vet's office and give them around the shots and put fly tags in their ears. And then haul them to grass and then June 10th to June 12th when we turn the bullion. So that gives me, that gives me the earliest calves come about March 15th.

[Brian Hale]And that's going to do it for today's Cattlemen's Corner. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
