You might want to update your Creekstone file. They procure cattle for natural and non natural branded beef on the open spot market. Most, if not all their needs are procured this way.Closer to you, geographically connect the dots between Grand Island, Columbus, Lincoln and Fairbury. Ask anyone in that area if Creekstone occassionally buys off the showlist on the spot market in this area (they do). Ask them if Creekstone questions the genetic background (they don't, all they care about is that they're painted black).
Beefman, you got me on that one. I was reading on their Angus program and incorrectly applied that to their entire operation. However, according to Kevin Ledford of Creekstone, they have NEVER bought Canadian cattle.
