Cull Cows
NFO puts together cull cows and bulls in the spring and fall for direct ship to livestock processing facilities. Days are set ahead of time and producers inform our cull cow organizer with their animal numbers for shipping. Cattle are shipped from either Tracy or Raynesford. Animals are paid on hanging weight.
