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.

YOUNG ANGUS PRODUCERS ATTEND ANNUAL BEEF LEADERS INSTITUTE Twenty Angus producers from across the U.S. explored various segments of the beef industry May 31-June 3, 2009, during the second annual Beef Leaders Institute, hosted by the American Angus Association® and funded through the educational efforts of the Angus Foundation. APPALACHIAN CLASSIC CHAROLAIS SALE HELD The Appalachian Classic Charolais Sale was held April 25, 2009 in Knoxville, Tenn. NATIONAL BRAUNVIEH SPRING BULL SALE HELD APRIL 18TH The Braunvieh Association of America Spring National Braunvieh Influencer Bull Test Sale on April 8th was a success. This premier sale was held at the Green Springs Bull Test Center, Nevada, Mo., and the best 77 out of 144 performance-tested bulls sold to commercial and seedstock producers in 14 states. RESEARCHER LOOKS AT THE GENETIC ASPECTS OF MARBLING Marbling drives value-based beef marketing. How to infuse enough of this quality-grade potential into herd genetics – or even how much is enough - has remained something of a mystery. SOUTHEAST BRANGUS BREEDERS ASSOCIATION BREEDERS SHOWCASE SALE HELD APRIL 4 IN... The Southeast Brangus Breeders Association Breeders Showcase Sale was held April 4, 2009 in Perry, Ga. VIRGINIA ANGUS ASSOCIATION TO HOST PRESIDENTIAL TOUR The Virginia Angus Association will host a “Presidential Angus Tour” Aug. 23-25, 2009. Attendees will have the opportunity to take pleasure in Virginia's well-known Southern hospitality, view some outstanding cattle from premier breeders in the state and experience some of the United States' historical landmarks. QUALITY SHOULD BE FACTORED IN THE PRICE EQUATION Feeders bid on cattle by penciling out the highest price they can pay and still maintain a shot at profit. Packers need a certain number of cattle harvested through their plants, bought at a particular price, to stay afloat. That cost/sales formula follows beef as it continues toward consumers. NEW TAX COURT CASE STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF RECORDKEEPING In a lengthy decision, the Tax Court recently underscored the difficulties taxpayers have in convincing the IRS that family-run farms are engaged in for profit. SOMETIMES THE GRASS IS WEEDIER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE Farmers and ranchers are seeing more weeds – both common and unusual varieties – this year, according to Dr. Vanessa Corriher, Texas AgriLife Extension Service forage specialist based at Overton. VITAMIN E IMPORTANT TO IMMUNITY AND REPRODUCTION Vitamin E was first identified as nutritionally essential for animals about 60 years ago. Rats fed purified diets without vitamin E did not reproduce, plain and simple. Many similar studies have shown similar results in domestic, managed species. SOUTHEAST ANGUS CLASSIC SALE AVERAGES $2,561 The Southeast Angus Classic Sale was held May 16, 2009 in Opelika, Ala. IT'S THE PITTS -- CROSSBRED COWBOYS Scholars say that people work for four reasons: habit, money, power or pleasure. I would add a fifth reason after conducting an informal survey of my entire family. MACEDON FARMS & FRIENDS ANGUS SALE AVERAGES $2,813 The Macedon Farms and Friends Angus Sale was held May 9, 2009 at the farm in Madison, Ala. BLACK INK -- WHY "TRADE DOWN?" Demand for beef is down. Can you blame the recession? Not entirely, but it's a darned inconvenient coincidence. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOOTER MCCORMICK -- READING THE STARS Peetie and Hooter were swapping thoughts about the economy, the state of the world and how it was that ammunition and gun sales were off the charts.
