Shipping Day 2024

Little belt cattle co/ Published november 19, 2024

Recently, we achieved a significant annual milestone by weaning and shipping our calves. They were sent to Yellowstone Cattle Feeders for backgrounding, marking the next step in their development.

Carefully sorted into groups of heifers and steers, the calves were sent to Yellowstone Cattle Feeders, where both groups will be backgrounded. The steers are destined for our finishing and beef program, while the heifers will play a vital role in our female and herd development initiatives.

This group of calves represents the backbone of our entire operation. The steers will grow into yearlings and contribute to our high-quality beef program, while the heifers will eventually join our cow herd, carrying our legacy forward for years to come. Getting to this point requires immense dedication and effort from our ranch crew, and their commitment shines through in the outstanding quality of this year’s calves. We’re particularly proud of this crop—a 100% Black Angus group that reflects the hard work and care poured into every step of our program.
