Consumers will want source-verified product,in ever growing quanitys as by Luara's Lean Beef sales around the country.So in order to entice producers they have started this program.
Premium for Bulls
Laura's Lean Beef is constantly looking for exotic bulls (Limousin, Charolais, Simmental, Gelbvieh, etc.) to use in our ground products. We pay premiums for lean, heavy muscled cull bulls. We pay $100 per head premium above the slaughter bull market for bulls free of antibiotics and added growth hormones from birth until slaughter (cradle to grave). We pay $50 per head premium for bulls free of antibiotics and added growth hormones for 20 months prior to slaughter.
As for steers an example, assume a producer sold a steer with a yield grade of 1.4 (select) and had a 675 carcass weight. As a result, he would receive $0.15 x 675, or $101.25 bonus dollars.
All in the interest of recordkeeping , it pays
