BEEF CATTLE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS
Written by Jim Butcher

Last January two prominent livestock men from Barbados
start a herd of ST. Croix breed cattle on Barbados. These men, whom
and DR.. Proverbs, Veterinary Officer. Both these men have extern
siye training and experience in animal husbandry.
They came to buy breeding stock and were willing to pay for what
they bought. But they wanted to know what they were getting. They
knew from long experience in working with cattle that they couldn't
completely evaluate the breed nor individual animals from physical
appearance. For instance, the physical appearance of a young heifer
doesn't tell how much she weighed at 6 months of age nor whether
her sire and mother were fast or slow gamers. The visiting cattle
men wanted the answers to these things because they know that a
calls capacity for rate of gain and rapid growth is inherited from
his father and mother. Mr.. Scale and DR.. Proverbs wanted to buy
the best because they know that breeding mediocre bulls to mediocre
cows only produces more mediocre animals. To get superior calves
you must have superior animals to start with.
Future buyers of pmebred cattle are going to demand this kind
of information. And to get more favorable prices for your cattle
farmers are going to have to be able to give it to them, by knowing
the exact performance of the parents and grandparents of the ami
NAL you have to SELL
In addition, to an increased demand for breeding stock, there
nearby Puerto Rico that must be and will be met The question is
who will be the suppher. Will it all be imported from the States or
will St Croix get its share Of the market?
So. the ST. Croix beef industry as a whole and the breed itself
are faced with a challenge. The challenge is to increase cattle num-
bers to meet this demand. How can the challenge be met? Simply
by better MANAGEMENT. Records of cattle performance should be kept
SO that superior gamers, superior mixers, and superior meat type
animals can be selected and used for foundation breeding stock that
will improve the quality and quantity of cattle on St Crolx. The
performance of each animal born in your herd should be recorded
on the record sheet Of his mother and sire so that you can evaluate
your cows and herd sires by the performance of their offspring.
