Nebraska Cattle

at NEcattle.net

The Nebraska Advantage . . . BEEF Nebraska's beef industry is an aggressive, dynamic business and the largest single industry in the state. Productive range and cropland support over 2 million cattle on feed daily and 1.9 million cows and heifers which calve annually. The abundant supply of water, plus generous feed and grain supplies, has supported the expansion of the state's feedlot industry to Nebraska's present level. Today, one in every five steaks purchased in the U.S. comes from Nebraska. Yearly cash receipts from cattle and calves total over $4.5 billion. Nebraska is the number one marketer of red meat in the U.S. and has over 7.5 million head of cattle processed annually. Nebraska's prominence in the nation's cattle industry is due, in part, to the rich natural resources in the state and to the willingness of the producers and cattle feeding operators to adapt to change. Cattle feeders in Nebraska are responsive to the demands of both their feeding customers and consumers, domestically and internationally. By using the latest in environmentally sound productive management practices, least-cost rations, Beef Quality Assurance (BQA), computerized record keeping, and value-based marketing, Nebraska's cattle feeders provide their customers and packers with cattle to meet industry and consumer demands. The Ag Promotion and Development Division (AP&D) of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture is dedicated to assisting individuals interested in Nebraska agriculture and Nebraska's cattle feeding operations. AP&D staff can provide information or arrange for visits with beef industry leaders. ...more   USDA Cattle Market Report Huss Platte Valley Auction - Kearney, NE (Wed) Lexington Livestock Market - Lexington, NE (Fri) Ogallala Livestock Auction Market - Ogallala, NE (Thu) North Platte Livestock Auction (Tue) Burwell Livestock Auction Market - Burwell, NE (Fri) Bassett Livestock Auction Market - Bassett, NE (Wed) Loup City Wtd Avg Livestock Report (Tue) Ericson/Spalding Livestock Auction Market - Ericson, NE (Sat) Imperial Livestock Auction - Imperial, NE (Fri) Tri-State Livestock Auction Market - McCook, NE (Mon) Valentine Livestock Auction Market (Thu) Nebraska Weekly Feeder Cattle Auction Summary (Mon) These are a few of the topics being discussed on our Forum.

USE PRACTICAL STRATEGIES IN CASE OF AN IRS AUDIT Excessive business deductions by livestock or general farmers, or horse owners--or for that matter, most any other business-- trigger IRS audits. If you are audited in connection with any farming, livestock or horse activity, the IRS will usually start with one tax year and then look back or forward for other years to see the history of losses or profits. SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED FOR NCBA ANNUAL CONVENTION The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) is pleased to announce the line-up of speakers for the 2010 Cattle Industry Convention. IT'S THE PITTS -- GRANDPA'S SADDLE A cowboy's life has always been defined by what he did with his most valued possession... his saddle.

Here are the remaining 50 facts: BLACK INK -- NO BOUNDARIES In a snow globe, the white flakes drift peacefully on a quiet farmyard. When cattlemen trudge through four-foot snow drifts in 30-mile-per-hour winds and single-digit temperatures to check on a sick calf, it isn't exactly the same picture of serenity. CATTLEMEN'S COLLEGE BRINGS FOCUS ON CONSUMER TO NCBA CONVENTION Daily chores get most of your time and attention. That's what pays the bills, but the state of the industry lies in the bigger picture.

BLACK INK -- MIXED BLESSINGS When you count your blessings, remember to include the ones disguised as challenges. Some of them you decided to take on as calculated risks; others intruded on your farm or in your life, but turned out to be “mixed blessings.” RED ANGUS AGE AND SOURCE CERTIFICATES ACCESSIBLE ONLINE Proper genetic, age and source verification is imperative for Red Angus cattle enrolled in the Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) to continue through the marketing channels.
