Importance of Local Producers

Welcome to the Cattlemen's Corner. I'm Brian Hale sitting in for the late Howard Hale as we continue his legacy of speaking with Cattlemen and women from around the globe.

Balancer cattle are registered hybrid seed stock that have documented pedigrees and expected progeny differences. Balancer animals are 25 to 75 percent gell-V with the balance of Angus or red Angus. Balancer cattle combine the gell-V growth, muscle, leanness, fertility, longevity and low yield grading ability with the carcass qualities of the Angus. Balancer cattle offer a simple and powerful way to maintain hybrid vigor and a profitable blend of British and continental genetics without a complicated crossbreeding system.

Hanging on the hook beef was established in 2022, but they've been providing butcher beef to family and friends for over 20 years. Beef comes from cattle that they raise on their own farm. Gary and Ladonna Ashenbrenner have been married for 32 years. They take pride in providing the highest quality meat. Grass raised, grain finished beef processed in a USDA inspected facility.

You can purchase the beef by individual cuts or try their bundle boxes and decide which is your favorite. Let's jump over to the shop at hangingonthehookbeef.com. That's the shop button on hangingonthehookbeef.com. Looks like they have 15-pound sampler boxes, summer grill boxes, variety boxes, crockpot box, filet mignon, flank steak, flat iron steak, comfort foods favorite and more.

Visit hangingonthehookbeef.com. If you're concerned about where your beef comes from, now you can get it directly from the ranch. From their farm to your table, hanging on the hook beef. We're hoping to get Gary or Ladonna on the phone with us on a future program right here on the cattleman's corner.

That's going to do it for today. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.

The Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course has a rich tradition and historical place in the programs emanating from the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. The TAM Beef Cattle Short Course is nationally and internationally recognized as the largest attended beef cattle educational program of its type in the world.

The Cattleman’s College features more than 20 concurrent sessions. Topics include animal health, nutrition, reproduction, breeding, genetics, selection, research, marketing and handling. Management sessions will cover business, forage, range, and purebred cattle. Topics such as landowner issues and fence building will be featured at this BCSC. Sessions are designed for everyone, from the newest member of the industry to the most seasoned producer.

Additionally, over 150 agriculture related businesses and trade show exhibitors annually attend the course and attest to the fact that it is the most highly attended activity of its kind anywhere in the United States. Annually over 1,700 participants attend the Beef Cattle Short Course to gain valuable knowledge about beef cattle production.
