DATA COLLECTION

We believe in giving as much information on cattle as a customer
wants.   For herds to improve, individual data is needed.  If individ-
ual cattle have their own I.D. we keep records on each animal.

The cattle are weighed individually upon arrival.  They are weighed
again at reimplant time and then their final weight is recorded before
we ship them out as fat.  We collect all carcass data at cost.  Ultra-
sound is also available at cost.

Performance is what makes everything work and that is the kind of
information breeders need in order to compete in the marketplace.
