The place of the beef cattle industry in U.S. agriculture
The phrase “Beef is King”
The beef industry is the single largest money-generating commodity in agriculture
![Page 15: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The gross annual income from U.S. beef
This $35 billion amounts
Cattle and calves rank in the top 5 commodities for 32 of the 50 states
The USA produces over 20% of the world’s beef and veal
![Page 16: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Purpose of the Beef Cattle Industry in the US
The purpose of the beef cattle industry in the United States
- Protein supply- Grass utilization into protein- Vast amounts of crop wastes and food
byproducts utilized
![Page 17: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Beef have other advantages
- they are rugged and adaptable- they can be fed excess grain
![Page 18: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cattle are the most numerous, most widely distributed, and most important
of all the livestock species
![Page 19: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Historical Perspective
Probably domesticated by 6500 B.C.
Historical look at U.S. cattle Numbers
- notice the cyclic ups and downs of the numbers in that figure
- the cycles are roughly 10-year cycles
![Page 20: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Columbus brought cattle to the West Indies on
his second voyage in 1493.
- Cortez- Spanish missionaries distributed cattle
across the American West- By the middle of the 19th century
![Page 21: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
After World War II
Grain-fed beefRefrigerationBetter fences/BLM landA marketing revolution took placeA new industry segment
- during the 70’s- boxed beefConsumer DemandsBeef cow numbers first exceeded dairy cow
numbers in 1954
![Page 22: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Per capita demand for beef has been declining since 1975
- quality issues began to plague the industry- how the industry responds
![Page 23: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
STRUCTURE OF THE BEEF INDUSTRY
The various beef industry segments
- seedstock/purebred producers- commercial cow-calf producers- yearling or stocker operators- the feedlot or finishing phase
![Page 24: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Geographical location of beef cattle in the U.S.• Cow-calf production
– Beef cows are found near ???– Stocker operations are drawn to ????– Finishing cattle in feedlots is a major economic
importance• Cattle are finished as secondary enterprises• Over 95% of all cattle feeding is done in the twelve states
![Page 25: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In simplest terms, two factors affect all the economic traits in cattle
1) genetic progress is dependent on how heritable the trait is
![Page 26: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tools are available to help producers make genetic progress
- such practices as performance testing (discuss bull test station), sire summaries and EPD’s are examples
- seedstock producers and commercial cow-calf producers
![Page 27: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Crossbreeding is the appropriate mating system of choice for commercial cow-calf producers
- pounds of calf weaned per cow- a big problem with the nation’s cowherd
- Crossbreeding is not fix all
![Page 28: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The importations changed the face of the American cattle industry since the 1970’s
- the British breeds had to make room for European breeds
- commercial cows in the U.S.- Not one perfect breed
![Page 29: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2) Reproductive management in beef cattle
- the goal of breeding herds of beef cattle
![Page 30: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Each calf should be born
- 85-90 days of calving season- the cow must recover from calving, start her heat cycle again, and conceive- good management is absolutely essential if this goal is to be reached
![Page 31: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The estual cycle for a cow is 19-21 days and the duration of estrus (heat) is usually 13-17
hours.
![Page 32: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Net calf crop – number of calves weaned and sold/number of Cows exposed
- it is the simplest and best way
![Page 33: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Most beef cows are mated by natural service
- artificial insemination is more likely to be used
Purebred or club calf situations- approximately 15 to 20%
![Page 34: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Bulls should be evaluated before they are used in a breeding program- evaluation - major factors of a breeding soundness exam- a bad bull can do tremendous damage- his presence is felt for generations- bull selection is more important than the selection of any single female
![Page 35: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Good records are essential to managing reproductive issues in the cow herd
![Page 36: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Nutrition in Beef Cattle• Cattle are ruminants
![Page 37: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Stocker feeding programs- the first is to meet minimum requirements
of the calves - the second is to graze calves on forage as
long as we can
![Page 38: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Feedlots - use high quality feeds to bring cattle to a suitable slaughter end point- several types of feed programs- Yet the endpoint is to produce beef that will fit in the box and satisfy the consumer
![Page 39: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A Steer is not all steak
![Page 40: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Nutritional benefits to humans from beef• Beef provides high proportions of the recommended daily dietary allowance for several nutrients. • Beef is a nutrient dense food
– In light of the more recent medical findings
![Page 41: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Trends in the beef cattle industry
The beef cattle industry is changing
Consumption- market share
- consumption in the 90’s was fairly stable- average per capita expenditures for meat
- beef expenditures as a percentage of total beef, pork and chicken- the industry cannot survive indefinitely under this trend
![Page 42: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Nutrition and health consciousness - beef is good food that is nutritious
-lean beef- the problem is when beef is fat
- steps have been taken- we trim and discard- genetics- cattle are being sent to market are
significantly leaner- National Quality Beef Audit(s)
![Page 43: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Convenient foods is also an issue related to consumption
- beef doesn’t have enough good, convenience foods- three-fourths of the cooks- beef must become more convenient
![Page 44: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Exports. The export market for beef looks bright for the long term
- exports have been increasing since the early 1980’s- the U.S. has been a net exporter of beef since 1991- world-wide trade agreements
![Page 45: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Food safety
• Food borne illnesses• Bovine Spongiform Encephalophathy (BSE)• Hormone implants and feed additives• Antibiotics
![Page 46: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Environmental concerns
- in 1998, the U.S. EPA announced it would increase the attention given to concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO)- final rules- you can bet this means more money added to the cost of production
![Page 47: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Industry Integration- vertical cooperation, vertical coordination and alliances- it amounts to vertical integration
![Page 48: 1. Beef Intro.403](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/577cce6e1a28ab9e788e0e73/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
