Many cattle farmers are frustrated by all of the changes facing them today. Lower revenues due to declining feeder calf prices coupled with higher feed, fertilizer, and feed costs have most cow-calf farmers confused about which production management prices pay and which ones do not. These dramatic changes have challenged our current beef production systems and will likely lead to a new beef/forage era where less emphasis will be given to supplementation with feed and more attention will be focused on growing, managing, and harvesting forages with cattle. The time you spend now in planning, monitoring, and effective management will likely be key factors in making your beef cattle business successful in the future.
