Beef Cattle
the livestock industry has created the necessity for
self‐evaluation and in many cases, making monumental changes to common management and
nutritional approaches to growing and finishing beef cattle.
In March, sales of feeder cattle fell well below what was earlier anticipated. In April, the array of
announced shutdowns at meat processing plants created disruptions, which have resulted in extended
planned delivery dates. Combined, this “clogging” in the beef supply chain has created subsequent
challenges in terms of potential shortages of available pen space to accept new arrivals of feeders.
Consequently, many growers are re‐assessing prospects of longer‐term ownership of their feeder cattle.
Given adjustments in the ethanol industry, the dramatically reduced availability of distiller’s grains has
created dramatic ripple effects on the prices of feedstuffs such as alfalfa hay and those coproducts that
could be substituted and used in its place. As a whole, the options for use with these alternative feed
ingredients is significantly reduced with adjoining reductions in feed efficiency performance.
Where are you standing today?
If a producer presently has backgrounding cattle in his/her yard, the critical first step is to accurately
assess their situation. This starts with knowing the present day, average weight of these cattle. This fact
is important to know going forward to assess marketing scenarios and to examine how rations can be
formulated with available feed ingredients.
The Department of Agricultural Economics (www.agmanager.info) has a broad range of tools available
for cattle producers to use to provide guidance with the implementation of price protection and to
obtain market‐informed projections of the feeder cattle market at future periods when cattle may be
sold. Two resources in particular include:

Do some farms consistently (persist) outperform their peers?
Persistence: Firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
Executive Summary
Often times farmers and agricultural lenders alike seek the ability to identify ways to improve farm
operations’ stability and profitability. Seeking these characteristics has been the goal of many research studies
previously. More often t …
