Proper management is a critical ingredient to successful grid marketing. However, it is not a guarantee. Genetic potential of the cattle plays an important role as well. The USPB Qualified Seedstock Supplier list is also available on this website. These breeders offer superior genetics designed to succeed on the USPB grid. Call them for your commercial bull needs or for information regarding feeder cattle with their genetics.
