TO COME Bent Tree Cattle Company has come a long way since its humble beginnings just over 20 years ago. Besides calving, the most stressful period in the life of a calf is at weaning. This time period is vital to the cow-calf producer also. Everybody knew that. But Hooter had to admit he was a little nervous about being put in a position to actually provide some formal education.
Many opportunities exist for entry into the cattle industry.
Do as much research as you can to determine what sector is of greatest interest to you. Just because a new cattle producer is, in fact, new or has been away from the industry for a while does not mean that they have to come into an enterprise with their eyes closed. If they dropped a bomb on this place I wonder if anyone besides immediate family would really care, wondered Hooter McCormick as he surveyed a gaggle of the more than 4,000 meat and food animal scientists gathered from around the world to discuss the minutia of what makes a hen cluck or a Mexican steer live.
