Cherokee Hills - Commercial Crosses

A Letter From The Vet:

The result of This Combination Produces the Ideal Carcass… Calves That Will Both Yield and Grade!

Pictured are our second set of Romagnola cross Angus steers. After weaning, our kids got three of them ready for the Henry County 4-H Steer Contest, one of the most prestigious in Tennessee. We had them ultrasounded and the results amazed everyone.

These calves were out of commercial Angus cows, some first calf heifers, that were bred to a Romagnola bull. Even the ultrasound technician expected them to have a lot of backfat in these heavy muscled steers. At around 13 months of age, all had less than .25 or 1/4 inch. That means no trim at slaughter! They had ribeyes of 13-14 inches and all have finished within one month high Choice.

This is exactly what the packer is looking for: high yielding, high grading, no trim carcasses. These steers would pay a premium in all categories.
