Some groups of heifers do not return home immediately. Instead, they are monitored daily for heat and bred artificially for the entire breeding season. However, for most ranching scenarios, the costs associated with this program make it inappropriate and disadvantageous. Teague Diversified also purchases and maintains a high-quality, yearling virgin bull battery selected stringently for use on heifers. We can offer a producer the alternative of putting heifers on our grass, exposed to our bull battery for a predetermined breeding season length.
Heifers then can be pregnancy-tested and sent home as the producers desire.
With today's genetics for growth, very few heifers would fall out of a program if they were fed solely in the feedyard from weaning to breeding.
