Easy calving and remarkable mothering ability are the
trademarks of Beefmaster cattle. This reflects the philosophy of
Beefmaster breeders who believe that putting a live, healthy calf on
the ground and raising that calf to a heavy weaning weight are the
two most important requirements in any successful beef cattle
program.
But there’s much more to the Beefmaster story. This hardy,
adaptable breed, which originated some 60 years ago in South
Texas, now produces successfully throughout the United States.
Many top herds are now located in Eastern and Midwestern states,
including Pennsylvania and Virginia.
There’s one crucial thing you should know about Beef masters:
This is a “complete” breed, bred and developed to put a balance of
important traits in your herd. This is not a single trait breed; it is not
a terminal breed.
Beefmasters give you heavy weaning calves that are worth more

money. They give you absolutely spectacular replacement heifers.
And with these heifers, you get more marketing flexibility. Your
Beefmaster or Beefmaster cross heifers can be kept for
replacements, sold at weaning or sold for premiums as
replacements. There’s a growing market for Beefmaster-bred
replacement heifers and many cattlemen get considerably more
money for their heifers than for their steers.
