DATA-DRIVEN

CONSISTENT, DATA-DRIVEN, PERFORMANCE

At the foundation of our cowherds are cattle with solid data profiles that will consistently produce offspring with predictable EPDs and growth measurements. We utilize this data to support our phenotypic mating selections and we have followed cattle all the way through the growing and harvesting process to be able to closely evaluate how that data converts into profit for our customers. We have data from the last three years that shows quality grades have been as high as 97% choice or prime, with an average of 85%. Our cattle are pushing the data-standards forward for the breed.

Performance

CONSISTENT, DATA-DRIVEN, PERFORMANCE

We raise cattle that will perform in any environment — the deep marshes of south Florida to the arid high deserts of the western United States. Our recent data shows that in the feedyard, along with exceptional quality grades, CDP genetics maintain yield grade averages that have been ranging from 2.9 to 3.2, consistently with dressing percentages staying at 63% or higher. Another very strong trait that separates CDP Brangus sired cattle from others is that they stay healthy and have lower death loss percentages during the feeding phase. CDP bulls are developed on silage and pasture and are critiqued heavily for structural soundness and temperament. Females are known for having excellent maternal characteristics, calving ease and docility which makes management more productive for ranchers.
