What do cattle in a feedyard do on a mild, sunny, winter morning? They sleep in! Rise and shine, it's breakfast time! #riseandshine #thursdaymorning #feedlotlife #cattle #CattleTales #Nebraska

Water is a scarce resource when raising cattle in the desert. The ranch has focused on developing natural springs in the mountains and foothills to provide water for cattle. - @beefrunner

Chuck enjoys tracking all types of data. He showcased his various identification systems used on his cattle including freeze branding, visual ear tags and individual RFID tags. The ranch moved away from hot iron branding to improve value of the hide for leather. - @beefrunner

The Quarter Circle U Ranch is focused on the best quality genetics of Angus cattle to produce prime grading beef, while being sustainable in an arid desert climate. - @beefrunner

The ranch was established in 1876 at the foot of the Superstition Mountains, which is primarily rough country consisting of canyons, rocks and cactus, leading to it being an all-horseback ranch. - @beefrunner

By education, Chuck is a Nuclear Engineer and retired as a professor at Arizona State University in 2004. This led to his ranch being entirely solar powered today. - @beefrunner

We're kicking off the day with introductions. I love working with Dietitians because they are very passionate about food and the science of nutrition. @arizonabeef - @beefrunner

Good morning! What's on your plate today?
I'm in Phoenix working with @ArizonaBeef. We'll be taking a group of dietetic interns on a tour of a cattle feedlot and ranch. For many, this will be their first visit to learn about cattle. - @beefrunner arizonabeef.org/

Today, I'm with @ArizonaBeef who represents all beef in the state. Each time a head of cattle is sold, $1 is collected and used for beef promotion, education and research programs. No policy work is involved. - @beefrunner
