Creep Grazing
Creep Grazing
This week we re-visit the potential benefits of creep grazing. While creep feeding, based on grains, has been studied in the animal science field for many years and quite a lot of data is available, typically when the question of whether creep feeding is cost-effective practice comes up. The simple answer for commercial cow/calf operations is “not in most circumstances”. This is particularly true for spring calving operations. Calf weaning weights can be increased anywhere from about 20 to 80 pounds. However, in most cases, the value of added weight gain will not cover the added expenses of creep feeding. Even so, not all operations make this decision based on the economics. For example, seedstock producers may have entirely different objectives when it comes to creep feeding. Chief among those include marketing and expression of genetic potential for growth. 07/18/2023 10:00 PM
Beef and Cattle Trade Responds to Cattle Market Conditions
Beef and Cattle Trade Responds to Cattle Market Conditions
Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Cattle and beef markets are undergoing a sharp transition in 2023 with ever- tighter cattle numbers, declining beef production and sharply higher cattle and beef prices. These market conditions are expected to impact international trade of U.S. cattle and beef. Reduced beef supplies and higher prices are projected to lead to reduced beef exports and increased beef imports. The strength of the U.S. dollar and the impacts of exchange rates may further exaggerate or mute these underlying market forces. The relatively strong dollar in recent months has tended to dampen beef exports and support increased imports. Unique market factors in specific countries will also impact trade flows in particular markets. The most recent trade data confirms that the expected impacts are indeed developing. 07/18/2023 10:00 PM
