Smoky
Mountain Cattle Consulting
Smoky
Mountain Cattle Consulting (SMCC) is an all
inclusive management service primarily designed
for the commercial cow/calf producer. We also
can help you intensively manage the dynamic
industry of replacement dairy heifers. SMCC
is based in southeast Tennessee.
 This
service enables producers to more effectively
manage not only their cattle, but land, and
economic aspects that encompass the entire
farm. In the end the operators have less work,
more economic return, and the confidence that
they are producing a superior product. Smoky
Mountain Cattle is built by utilizing innovative
ideas to efficiently solve everyday management
issues of cattlemen. The goal is to help keep
the producers in business and allow them to
continue successfully in food animal agriculture.
SMCC
uses applied research. If a management practice
is not economically feasible or practical
it is not even suggested. We have the experience
of our own commercial cow/calf operation to
back it up. So, SMCC would never recommend
something that we would not do on own farm.
Also, the goal of our program is not to tell
the producer how we would manage their operation,
but to customize plans for the resources that
are already there. SMCC will find or create
the best situation for the farm, economics,
logistical concerns and for the future.
Part
of our responsibility to animal and land management
is to provide the operator with the opportunity
to obtain tools for optimum efficiency. The
majority of these products have been unavailable
for the most part in previous years in the
southeast US.
Everything
that is discussed in the next pages in regards
to beef cattle comes as a package deal when
your farm is a client of SMCC, which includes
a discount on the agriculture management tools
that we sell. If you are not a client, you
can purchase items and we will analyze samples
for you. We will work cattle or market cattle
on a case by case basis.
