Cultivate Healthy and Resilient Livestock

What happens here

The farmer highlights his breeding strategy focused on developing a healthy and resilient cattle herd. He mentions using a South Poll bull named Donnie, chosen for its 'better grass genetics'. This results in animals that are naturally fatter, have fewer flies, and generally require less deworming or other medical interventions. The aim is to breed cattle that thrive on a grass-based diet, reducing the need for costly and potentially harmful external inputs like steroids and antibiotics.

Goal: Develop a self-reliant and healthy cattle herd through selective breeding and natural care.
