Washakie Feeders
Buying a DCR bull is just the beginning!!
We are now into our 4th year of operating Washakie Feeders Feedlot. It has a 10,000 head capacity that allows us opportunities on a large scale to work alongside our bull customers with
Calf marketing with the ability to get performance data back.
Back grounding and retained ownership - facilitating finishing options if desired.
Heifer development with breeding options.
Over the years, we have not only retained ownership in our home-raised cattle, but also purchased many of our bull customers’ calves. This has allowed us the opportunity to collect feedlot and carcass data on large groups of DCR-bred calves and its is reassuring to see the numbers.
