Feed & Nutrition

Meat processing plants across the country have gone offline in response to COVID-19 outbreaks among the workers. 

I once asked a producer with whom I work what his favorite time of year was in regards to his cattle calendar.

All join hands and circle left;
Circle to the left, eight hands around!

Compared to the decline seen in the beef industry during the 1980s and 1990s, red meat has been taken off the health hit list, and lean red meat is now in the good graces of our local family practitioner.

All cattle producers understand that healthy, efficiently growing cattle generate the greatest returns. With feed costs attributing to nearly 70% of total production costs in the beef industry, constant effort and creativity are required to achieve optimal return on investment.

It doesn’t seem like it’s that time, yet here we are in the new year and the freshness of new birth as calving time is around the corner.
