Type of Organic Stock Required
Whilst OLMC endeavour to market all the store stock
booked in to its store stock office, the emphasis is
on improving the quality of stock available.
The
bulk of finishers are looking for cattle that will grade
R and better. This means only using bulls of high EBV's
and maintaining quality cows of good genetics and types.
Some
dairy bred stores are required by finishers but again
the emphasis is on quality with well grown on 400 to
450 kg stores and heifers being preferred.
Pure
Black and White steers are normally not marketable organically.
Every farm and its circumstances are different and we
can give some individual advice on the type of cattle
to produce to suit your farming system.
