Cow-Calf Retained Ownership Analysis and Price Forecasting Using an Online Decision-Support Tool
Dillon M Feuz ( June, 2024 )
Summary
Cow-calf producers must frequently decide to either sell their calves at weaning (or soon thereafter) or retain ownership of the calves through a background/growing phase (typically on harvested forages, pasture, corn stalks, or other crop residues). Then, the cattle are sold or retained in a finishing feedlot program. While the price producers might receive at weaning may be known, there is great uncertainty about what cattle prices might be at the end of the retained ownership program
