Dustin Hurlbut, CEO with the American Chianina Association, is our guest for this conversation from the Third Cattlemen’s Congress- Dustin says the breed leaders were very happy with the shows and sale for the breed at Congress. Dustin says that the Chianina breed has recently celebrated being in the US for a half century- and that their cows with even a small percentage of Chianina heritage have tremendous maternal traits and longevity. Feedlots also love cattle with Chi blood- as that gives those animals a leg up in feed conversion.
