Efficiency is great. Sentimentality is not. Sometimes the thing holding us back from getting to a more efficient cowherd is our unwillingness to let these cows go and start over. Today we discuss how to select for a more efficient cow herd with Bart Carmichael of Wedge Tent Angus Ranch. We discuss the roll of our management in changing a cow herd as well as the unusual selection criteria that actual leads to greater performance.
