| A Systems Approach To Beef Production
|
| The Ranchers Renaissance approach to beef
production is systematic. Each segment of the production
chain, from the producer to the retail end user, meets
specifications to ensure a consistently tender and top-quality
product for the consumer. Beef is produced under the Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) system of food
safety and quality. HACCP requires production partners
to identify potential hazard points and then establish
preventive measures to control those hazards. |
| Specifications |
| Here are a few of the specs followed by
Ranchers Renaissance partners: |
- Genetics – Prefer a minimum
of 50 percent English and maximum of 50 percent Continental
breed influence
- Preconditioning – All calves
are preconditioned 45 days, during which they are
weaned, bunk broke, vaccinated and grown to a minimum
of 450 pounds
- Record Management – Each
calf receives an individual ear tag to
record information captured along the production
chain. This information is shared with all production
partners
- Injection Sites – Only subcutaneous
or neck intramuscular injections permitted
- Ruminant Proteins – The
use of feeds containing ruminant derived proteins
is forbidden
