Why Piedmontese

WHY SHOULD I USE PIEDMONTESE IN MY HERD?
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY? - then you need to use Piedmontese. The evidence of Piedmontese growers topping the sale for price is too great to be ignored. Take a look at “What They Say…” to confirm that PIEDMONTESE MAKE MORE $$$’s for the producer. If you have already taken the step away from a traditional straight breed herd and are crossbreeding you will have seen the benefits that are to be gained. A Piedmontese bull is the next step for you.
Of all the European breeds available in Australia today the Piedmontese is the only one that can produce a high yielding carcass (60-65% is the norm not the exception) that will consistently grade choice.	1/2 Blood Piedmontese Calf 3 months.
Add to this the superior weight gain and feed conversion together with an enormous rib eye muscle area and the picture becomes clear, the only terminal sire to use is a PIEDMONTESE. In a 1990’s trial conducted at ICM’S PEECHELBA FEEDLOT, a group of 22 F1 mixed sex weaners were fed for 95 days and then slaughtered at ICM’S abattoir, the resultant carcass assessment of a random selection of 10 carcasses is tabled. When these weaners entered the feedlot they had an estimated value of $300 ($1 per KG). At the time of slaughter the live weight value of the cattle was $1.25, however, the consignment was sold over the hook HSCW for $2.35. With a 62% dressing percentage this came back at a live weight equivalent of $1.43 KG, an 18 cents per KG premium. A HUGE 14.4% in EXTRA $’s to the grower! DOESN’T YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DESERVE PIEDMONTESE? This type of result is a realistic expectation and indicative of the performance Piedmontese can deliver.
