At TLC, we have chosen to concentrate on maternal traits. We
believe one must avoid extremes and we will never claim that our cattle are the best at everything. We do, however,
want them to be the best and most efficient at converting grass to meat.
We use two noted maternal breeds,
Angus and South Devon, both have been developed over centuries as dual purpose breeds. One could argue all
day which is the best cow - Angus or South Devon - and that's the way we like it!!!! We have purebreds and composites
of these two breeds.
We are not afraid to let nature pick the cows we keep (and
believe me that is sometimes a tough thing to let happen). Nature will always move the herd back to the center (contrary
to what most people try to select for - which are the extremes). We measure profitability by total pounds of beef
produced / cow exposed. We also rate our cows on % body weight weaned . This keeps balance
between genetics, feed resources, and the market place.
