ALLIED FEEDING PARTNERS

Allied Feeding Partners (AFP) was formed by some of the nation's top seedstock producers who trust in the value of feeder cattle sired by their genetics & are dedicated to customer service after the sale. The primary goals of AFP are to build stronger, long-term relationships with bull customers, ensure competition on sale day when customers are marketing their calves, and capture & share feedlot/harvest data with our customers to make better bull selection decisions & to utilize in future years when marketing their calves. Data past the ranch of origin is typically missing for most cattlemen, but AFP provides our customers with the chance to leverage that data for their long-term benefit. 

Make no mistake...AFP plans to make money feeding cattle, this is not a charity. But our primary objective is to enhance the relationship between our commercial bull customers & our seedstock partners. By sharing critical performance, health & carcass data through harvest, customers of AFP have the insight to streamline their genetic selection decisions & the ability to build a stronger reputation with potential buyers of their cattle by providing them with past results. This philosophy works in all forms of marketing but is most evident when marketed with our Rep Team on Superior Livestock Auction.  

In general, when a buyer purchases feeder cattle that perform well, they are not incentivized to share that data with the seller for fear of increasing the price of the cattle in future years. But AFP's goals are to assist our bull customers in their own profitability, with the trust of that dedication being rewarded with long-term relationships between our seedstock suppliers & our customers. 

To learn more, contact Clint Berry (417) 844-1009 or your Allied seedstock provider.

EPISODE 151 DETAILS

We have featured the product Farmatan many times here on The Ranch It Up Radio Show.  And many of you have reached out with questions.  Each operation is special and unique so we share more general details and success stories of producers who are using the product and say they are never looking back.  It helps keep scours and coccidiosis in check.  The 70th Annual Red Angus Association of America Convention just wrapped up in Denver.  We have highlights and focal points to the talks along with what is the focus of Red Angus Breeders going forward.  It’s all about developing alliances with the various different aspects of our industry and adding value to your calf crop.  We have it all for you in this jam-packed episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show!  As always Tigger & BEC and the Ranch It Up crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action not to miss, and cover the cattle markets.

FARMATAN BY IMOGENE INGREDIENTS

Imogene Ingredients works to access specialty feed ingredients at competitive costs from sources around the world.  New regulations and technologies are changing the feed industry. Ingredients that would not have been used 10 years ago are considered mainstream today. Coating technologies have increased the efficiency of ingredients and further research of enzymes, amino acids and naturally occurring antibiotic alternatives continue to change our perception of what is economical in today’s ration formulations.

FARMATAN by Imogene Ingredients is nature’s answer!  Naturally produced tannic acid has been used for generations in Europe to protect animals from pathogens that can attack the immune system.  Now, Farmatan is available here, and can be mixed in a TMR, liquid form, and in tubs!  This is a must-have tool for anyone in the cattle business, from the cow/calf operation to the feeding industry and any others in between! 

RED ANGUS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA

Red Angus females are in high demand from commercial producers far and wide. Their longevity, fertility, adaptability, and efficiency, coupled with their good disposition, make them the ideal cow for today’s producers.  Data from Superior Livestock has shown that Red Angus females command up to $17/cwt more than females of all other breed types, which solidifies the fact that Red Angus cows can position your farm or ranch to thrive in today’s volatile markets.

 Additional data¹ from Superior Livestock show that bred Red Angus heifers command an average of $150 more per head than all other breed types ($140 more than Angus-sired, $133 more than English x Continental and $177 more than Brahman-influenced bred heifers).

Serious data for serious consideration: what can Red Angus do for your herd and your bank account?

For more information on adding Red Angus genetics to your herd, visit our stockyard, sale calendar, and value-added programs sections.

Optimizing Vaccine Efficacy In Animal Health:  Best Practices & Considerations

Vaccines play a crucial role in safeguarding animal health by bolstering their immune systems against various pathogens. Understanding proper storage, handling, and administration of vaccines is essential to ensure their effectiveness.

Key Points:

• 1. Importance of Vaccines: Vaccines are preventive tools designed to prepare an animal's immune system to combat diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, or protozoa.

•  

• 2. Proper Handling and Storage: Deviations from label instructions regarding storage, transportation, and handling can compromise vaccine efficacy. Vaccines should be stored in refrigerators maintaining optimal temperatures.

•  

• 3. Factors Affecting Efficacy: Nutritional deficiencies, environmental stressors, and preexisting health conditions can influence an animal's response to vaccination.

•  

• 4. Administration Best Practices: Proper reconstitution, mixing, and administration techniques are crucial for vaccine effectiveness.

•  

• 5. Herd Veterinarian Guidance: Tailoring vaccination programs to specific herd needs and consulting with a veterinarian ensures optimal protection.

•  

• 6. Vaccine Types and Revaccination: Understanding differences between modified live virus (MLV) and killed virus (KV) vaccines and adhering to recommended revaccination schedules are vital.

•  

• 7. Calfhood Vaccination Programs: Initiating comprehensive vaccination programs early in a calf's life, especially during pre weaning stages, is essential for disease prevention.

•  

• 8. Essential Components: Commonly included vaccines protect against respiratory diseases and clostridial infections, but specific vaccine decisions should be made with veterinary consultation.

•  

• 9. Heifer Vaccination: Vaccination programs for replacement heifers should mirror those for mature cows, with consideration for reproductive diseases.

•  

• 10. Pre Breeding and Pre Calving Vaccinations: Timing and selection of vaccines are critical to ensure adequate immunity transfer and protection for newborn calves.

•  

• 11. Bull Vaccination: Bulls should receive similar vaccines as the cow herd, with exceptions such as brucellosis vaccination.

Effective vaccine utilization requires adherence to proper storage, handling, and administration practices, along with tailored vaccination programs guided by veterinary expertise. By implementing these strategies, livestock producers can enhance animal health and productivity while mitigating disease risks.

ALLFLEX® CleanVax™  Nozzles and Shields for Intranasal Vaccination

Merck Animal Health, known as MSD Animal Health outside of the United States and Canada, a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (NYSE:MRK), today announced new ALLFLEX® CleanVax™ nozzles and shields for clean, fast and convenient administration of intranasal vaccines to cattle.

The CleanVax intranasal vaccination system includes shorter nozzles that are less invasive than conventional cannulas, as well as clear plastic disposable shields that can be replaced between animals or groups of animals for more hygienic administration.

“CleanVax nozzles and shields optimize every aspect of the intranasal vaccination process for confidence in a clean, consistent dose every time,” said Jonathon Townsend, D.V.M., Ph.D., dairy technical services for Merck Animal Health. “The system is simple to use and enhances calf comfort, hygiene and consistency, making it easier on both the calf and caregiver.”

The following are the advantages of the CleanVax intranasal vaccination system:

• Calf-friendly, shorter nozzles minimize discomfort;

• Atomizer tips ensure even distribution across mucosal surfaces and reduce product drip;

• Easy-to-use nozzles attach to any brand of syringe or Luer lock applicator gun;

• Hygienic shields add a layer of protection and enhance biosecurity.

“CleanVax nozzles and shields are designed to make intranasal vaccine administration more hygienic, calf-friendly and consistent,” Dr. Townsend added. “As a leader in intranasal vaccination technologies, Merck Animal Health continues to advance cattle health and production with innovative and effective solutions for cattle producers.”

Intranasal vaccines available from Merck Animal Health include BOVILIS® NASALGEN® 3-PMH, BOVILIS NASALGEN 3, BOVILIS NASALGEN IP, BOVILIS CORONAVIRUS and BOVILIS ONCE PMH® IN.

ALLFLEX CleanVax products are now available through your Merck Animal Health representative or ALLFLEX supplier. Learn more at MAHcattle.com.

COW COUNTRY NEWS USDA Finalizes Voluntary “Product Of USA” Labeling Rule

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack on Monday announced the finalization of a rule to align the voluntary “Product of the USA” label claim with consumer expectations of what the claim means.

The designation allows the voluntary “Product of USA” or “Made in the USA” label claim to be used on meat, poultry and egg products only when they come from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the United States. The final rule aims to prohibit misleading U.S. origin labeling in the marketplace and helps ensure that the information that consumers receive about where their food comes from is based on facts.

The labels will continue to maintain their voluntary status for use on products and also will be eligible for generic label approval, which removes the need for pre-approval by USDA, but requires manufacturers to maintain documentation to support the claim. Last summer, the country of origin labeling rules (COOL), as they were proposed, covering meat, poultry and egg products, were criticized by the Canadian government and the National Pork Producers Council because they included specific regulations on where the animals were raised, which were not part of earlier versions of the rule.

Companies that use the “Made in the USA” claim will need to comply with the final rule by Jan. 1, 2026, but are being encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus released the following statement on the USDA's finalized rule on the "Product of USA" label by saying, “NCBA has been committed to finding solutions to this problem ever since a producer-led NCBA working group raised the alarm, years ago, that imported beef could be mislabeled as a Product of the USA incorrectly at the end of the supply chain. We appreciate USDA’s effort to address this loophole. During the implementation period, NCBA’s focus will remain on ensuring that these changes result in the opportunity for producer premiums while remaining trade compliant.”

Let's Ranch it Up! We have all been faced with our fair share of challenges.  Challenges that many times put us in a position to make life-changing decisions.  But could they actually be opportunities?  Jared and Jill Wareham and their children Mikah, Rhett, and Sawyer of Missouri have dedicated their entire lives to the beef business, from producing to marketing to advocating.  But as life would have it, challenges came their way, allowing them to seize opportunities, make life changes, and make dreams a reality. Jill is a teacher and Jared works remotely as a Business Development Manager for ABS. American Breeders Service, INC. (ABS) has become a leader in genetic development allowing producers access to genetics through artificial insemination.    

They were faced with the decision of expanding their successful cattle operation, hiring additional employees, and possibly going further in debt; or selling out, moving across the country, and chasing a dream!  This is a tremendous episode that focused on family, faith, and self-preservation!  And as Jared Wareham says, "Always bet on family!"

Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Former USDA Counsel Named Deputy Ag Secretary

A veteran of the first Trump administration's agriculture team has been named to be deputy secretary of the USDA.

President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Stephen Vaden to be deputy under Brooke Rollins, a former think tank executive already tapped to head the USDA.

A Yale law graduate, Vaden served as USDA general counsel from 2018-2020, when he was confirmed to a judicial appointment on the U.S. Court of International Trade. He has served as a board member of the Commodity Credit Corp.

CDC Confirms Nations First Severe H5N1 Infection Of Human

A patient in Louisiana was hospitalized with a severe case of avian influenza (H5N1), marking the first instance in the United States of severe illness linked to the virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today in a news release and press call.

CDC said the Louisiana patient, one of 61 human cases to occur in the United States since April, was infected with a D1.1 virus recently detected in wild birds and poultry in the U.S. and in recent human cases in British Columbia, Canada, and in the state of Washington.

Officials noted the D1.1 strain of H5N1 is different from the B3.13 genotype detected in dairy cows, sporadic human cases in multiple states, and some poultry outbreaks in the U.S.  No person-to-person spread of H5 bird flu has been detected.

California State Of Emergency, New Human Infections, Canadian Struggles all due to H5N1

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency in an effort to streamline the Golden State’s response to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Several California agencies have developed coordinated responses to address and minimize farm worker exposures, lower raw dairy product contamination and mitigate the spread of the virus, the governor said in a statement: He said “This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak.” About 680 dairy farms are under quarantine from HPAI outbreaks, while 6.2 million birds have been hit and 36 people infected across California.

A commercial poultry worker in northwest Iowa is now the first confirmed human case of HPAI in the Hawkeye State, according to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS). An estimated 6.7 million birds have been affected in more than a dozen counties across Iowa, according to USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that more than 13.9 million birds have been impacted by HPAI in the most recent tally of the spread of H5N1 infections across nine provinces. British Columbia is reporting the highest number of HPAI cases among 8.3 million birds. New Brunswick has the lowest number of birds affected by avian influenza with fewer than 100 birds at two locations being confirmed with the virus.

Beef Processor Fined For Odor Violations

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) fined STX Beef Company $200,000 for violations linked to foul odors coming from its Corpus Christi facility, according to a local report.

The penalty follows years of complaints about smells traced to cattle processing and wastewater management issues. TCEQ also cited equipment failures, inadequate scrubber systems and poor recordkeeping.

Of the fine, $2,000 is already paid, with $40,000 due soon. Over $80,000 will support Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s AutoCheck program, addressing regional vehicle emissions.

The company has 30 days to submit an odor control plan, including equipment repairs and new systems, and must comply with air quality rules for five years.

Corporate Transparency Act Reporting Requirement Will Return Due to Court Ruling

Producers pay attention now.  The Corporate Transparency Act filing requirements are back in effect following a court decision that reverses the injunction that previously halted this mandate. 

NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus said that The Corporate Transparency Act requires millions of family farmers and ranchers to file complex paperwork and disclose beneficial ownership information with the federal government under penalty of severe fines and jail time.

Earlier last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a nationwide preliminary injunction on the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act, holding that the government is likely to prevail in a constitutional challenge. This decision places many small businesses in jeopardy that have not yet filed Beneficial Ownership Information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 

In light of the Fifth Circuit’s decision, FinCEN announced it will delay enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act until January 13, 2025.  It is highly recommended to visit with your accountant, tax professionals, and or attorneys on exactly what needs to be filled and where.

EPISODE 152 DETAILS

Whose job is it to change the cattle industry.  Is it the cow-calf man, who raises the majority of the beef?  Is it the seedstock producer who raises the genetics that we need?  Is it the stocker, who gets the calves on feed?  Is it the feed yard to get the cattle to finish?  Is it the packer who processes and harvests the beef?  In reality, it is all of these segments coming together to make the changes we need in the cattle business.  However, it is the seedstock producer who can influence that change probably more than any of those aforementioned segments.  We had a great sit-down conversation with Steve Koester, the immediate past president of the Red Angus Association of America and Co-Owner and Manager of Koester Red Angus.  We have the news from cow country that you need to hear.  Plus feeder calf sale reports are on fire!!!   Not to mention the weekly market recap with Kirk Donsbach with Stone X Financial, Inc.  We have it all for you in this jam-packed episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show!  As always Tigger & BEC and the Ranch It Up crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action not to miss, and cover the cattle markets.

KOESTER RED ANGUS

Our vision for the future...Rooted in heritage and stewardship while envisioning tomorrow.  We look beyond the current season and market, seeking fresh genetics that will add value to our customers’ calves and cowherds for generations into the future. We know – and accept the responsibility – that our decisions today impact the livelihood of the cattlemen who trust our genetics.

All of our registered Red Angus Cows and heifers calve in August and September on pasture, where we weigh and tag daily. We also udder and disposition score each dam as she calves. All of our cows are DNA tested and display genomically enhanced EPDs which predicts their potential to the highest level possible.

In early November, we synchronize, AI and sort into breeding groups for a 45-day breeding season. Matings are done which enhance our customers’ profitability to the best of our ability.

We wean calves in March and collect DNA samples for GGP testing. We also weigh and body condition score the cows as well as record her foot scores. The heifers are summered on pasture with only protein block supplements. We run the bulls on grass with just enough supplement to maintain their development and prepare them for yearling carcass and data collection. They are not put on a feed test.

The Sale Bulls come into the lot in late August where we develop them as long yearlings for the sale in March, held in conjunction with Leland Red Angus at their ranch near Sidney, Montana. In addition to genomically enhanced EPDs on the Sale Bulls, we continually monitor performance, feet, and disposition, culling accordingly until only the highest profitability bulls are maintained for sale.

We welcome guests to visit our family operation during any season or phase of production.

Season 5, EPISODE 227

Animal Health & Disease Management:  Should We Be Concerned & Tariff Updates Improving Animal & Disease Management Practices: Foot & Mouth Disease, and Tariff News Foot & Mouth Disease: In Livestock

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, fast-spreading viral disease that primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer.

FMD is one of the most challenging animal diseases to control. Although most infected animals survive, they're left weak and unable to produce the level of meat and milk prior to infection. FMD was first discovered in the United States in 1870 and eradicated in 1929.

FMD is not a human health or food safety threat. The disease is not related to hand, foot, and mouth disease, a common childhood illness caused by a different virus.

How To Identify Foot & Mouth Disease

There are 7 known types and more than 60 subtypes of the FMD virus, meaning immunity to one type doesn't protect animals against other types or subtypes. The first signs of illness usually appear within 2 to 14 days after infection. Here's what to look for:

• Fever
  • Great increase in temperature for 2 to 3 days
• Blisters/Vesicles
  • Blisters can develop on the tongue and lips, in and around the mouth, on the mammary glands, and around the hooves. They rupture and discharge clear or cloudy fluid.
• Erosions
  • When blisters pop, they leave raw, eroded areas surrounded by ragged fragments of loose tissue.
• Excess saliva
  • Infected animals may have sticky, foamy, and stringy saliva.
• Loss of appetite
  • Painful tongue and mouth blisters may lead animals to eat less.
• Lameness and a reluctance to move or stand
• Abortions
  • Animals can experience spontaneous abortions and sterility.
• Milk
  • Dairy cows may have low milk production.
• Heart disease and death
  • These symptoms are especially prevalent in newborn animals.

FMD Can Easily Be Confused With Other Diseases

FMD may be confused with other diseases that produce blisters, including vesicular stomatitis, bluetongue, bovine viral diarrhea, foot rot in cattle, and swine vesicular disease. The only way to tell if the blisters are caused by the FMD virus is through laboratory testing. If you observe mouth or feet blisters in your animals, report them immediately so that they can be tested.

How To Prevent Foot & Mouth Disease

• Report signs of disease. Livestock owners, livestock transport and slaughter personnel, and private veterinarians should watch for symptoms of FMD and immediately report sick animals to Federal, State, Tribal, or local animal health officials. This is especially important if the animals in question have had contact with other animals at locations like livestock markets, feedlots, or fairgrounds.
• Be careful what you pack. When traveling outside of the United States, don't bring back any prohibited items (including food) or dirty footwear or clothing that could potentially move the FMD virus or other disease agents.
• Declare to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Upon entering the United States, travelers should indicate to the U.S. Customs any visits to farms, ranches, or other areas where livestock are raised or kept. You should also declare any visits to zoos, circuses, fairs, and other facilities or events where animals were exhibited.
• Follow a “5-day” rule. If you visited a farm or had any contact with livestock on your trip, you should avoid all contact with livestock, zoo animals, or wildlife for 5 days after you return to the United States. If you're returning with pet dogs or cats that have had contact with livestock or been in areas frequented by livestock, make sure your pet’s feet, fur, and bedding are free of any dirt or mud and that their bedding doesn't contain straw, hay, or other natural materials. Bathe your pet as soon as you reach your final destination and keep it from all livestock for at least 5 days after returning to the United States.

Controlling By APHIS  Foot & Mouth Disease

Because FMD occurs in many parts of the world, there's always a chance it could be reintroduced into the United States. APHIS continuously monitors FMD worldwide. Our veterinarians stationed overseas help other countries control and eradicate the disease, which reduces the risk of it spreading to the United States.

At ports of entry, we work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection to screen cargo and prevent travelers from bringing any products of concern into the United States. We restrict or prohibit imports of many animals and animal byproducts from areas known to be affected with FMD. We also work with the U.S. Armed Forces to make sure military vehicles and equipment are properly cleaned and disinfected before they return to the United States from international duty.

Across the country, APHIS and other Federal, State, and Tribal animal health officials work with accredited veterinarians to monitor domestic livestock for FMD. We have response plans in place that we can quickly activate if the disease is found in the United States.  Click HERE for additional details.

Tariffs: China Targets U.S Agriculture For Retaliation of 20%

The United States plans to impose a 20% tariff on Chinese goods, could result in a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two economic giants. In response, China is reportedly preparing countermeasures that could directly impact U.S. agriculture and food exports.

According to The Global Times, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing "will definitely carry out strong, powerful countermeasures" if the U.S. increases the current 10% tariff. The report indicates that American agricultural products, including beef and pork, are "most likely" to be targeted with new tariffs.

The trade uncertainty is already shaking U.S. agricultural markets. Hog futures have dropped 6% in recent trading sessions, according to the Daily Livestock Report (DLR). China and Hong Kong together account for 19% of U.S. beef exports and 6.5% of pork exports—significant figures that highlight the stakes of these trade tensions.

As it stands, China has already imposed a 37% tariff on U.S. pork and a 12% tariff on U.S. beef, making American meat exports less competitive in the Chinese market. A further escalation could worsen the situation for U.S. farmers and ranchers.

With agriculture facing potential economic strain, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins has signaled readiness to implement relief measures. She indicated that a financial aid package similar to the $28 billion bailout deployed during the 2018 trade war under President Trump could be reintroduced. However, reports suggest that only $4 billion remains in the fund earmarked for agricultural assistance in 2025, raising concerns about the adequacy of available support.

All eyes are on how China will respond and what further actions the U.S. might take. The agricultural sector, already facing global market challenges, is bracing for potential disruptions. For farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses, staying informed about trade policy developments is crucial. If China follows through with its threats, the impact could be widespread across U.S. agriculture, affecting prices, exports, and overall farm profitability.

Canada and Mexico are also in the cross hairs of trade tariffs with both countries promising immediate retaliatory responses.

When it comes to choosing the right antibiotic to treat cattle, it should be anything but a guessing game. While there are many factors that weigh into creating a treatment regimen, understanding the different classes of antibiotics and how they work is important to ensure your cattle are getting the best treatment response.  We have some great information curiosity of Elanco Animal Health!  Click HERE for additional information!

ANTIBIOTICS 101 - TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR YOUR BEEF CATTLE

When it comes to choosing the right antibiotic to treat cattle, it should be anything but a guessing game. While there are many factors that weigh into creating a treatment regimen, understanding the different classes of antibiotics and how they work is important to ensure your cattle are getting the best treatment response.

 

A variety of infectious diseases can compromise cattle health, affecting growth, performance and operational profitability. Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is one of the most common and costly. Prevention is the first line of defense against BRD. Having management protocols in place to reduce risk factors, along with a vaccine program, can help protect your herd. But when animals do get sick, it’s vital to identify and treat cattle as soon as possible with the right treatment to ensure the longevity of treatment options and reduce the risk of resistance.

 

Not all antibiotics are created equal

Every antibiotic has a different mix of characteristics. Knowing the antibiotic class and its characteristics when treating cattle gives a better understanding of how it works. Two of the most common antibiotic classes used to treat respiratory disease in cattle are macrolides and fluoroquinolones.

• Macrolides are time-dependent bacteriostatic antibiotics. This means they must maintain a minimal concentration that is greater than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) over a period of time to overcome infectious bacteria. The MIC is the minimum amount of drug needed to suppress the replication of bacteria. The longer the antibiotic is present in the animal at or above the MIC level, the more it inhibits bacteria reproduction so allowing time for macrolides to work is critical. In certain “bug-drug” combinations such as tulathromycin and some isolates of Mannheimia haemolytica, macrolides can be bactericidal making initial concentrations and appropriate dosing more critical.

• Fluoroquinolones are concentration-dependent bactericidal antibiotics. This means they only need to reach concentrations above the MIC for very short periods to be effective. In some models, the higher the initial concentration of the fluoroquinolone above the MIC, the more effective the therapy.

How to choose the correct antibiotic

Understanding how an antibiotic works is one step to minimizing the risk of resistance. There are a few things producers should ask themselves when choosing an antibiotic to make the right choice for their operation:

1. Do I know the health history of the cattle being treated? If there was a metaphylaxis treatment with one class of antibiotic, using a different class if subsequent treatment is required may be warranted.

2. Do I know the weight of the animal being treated? Remember when administering antibiotics, the dose is based on weight of the animal. Getting an accurate weight on each animal being treated is important to the success rate of antibiotic therapy.

3. What is the causative pathogen? Necropsies are an excellent tool to understand what bacteria your cattle are challenged with. Cultures can help determine what bacteria is affecting your herd and the best treatment for that strain.

4. Have I read the product label? Once you understand the bacteria strain you’re dealing with, it’s important to choose a product that’s labeled to control or treat that associated bacteria. It’s also important to ensure you are following directions for proper dosage, route of administration and withdrawal periods to get the most effective treatment.

5. Do I have bigger issues to address? When seeing an uptick in BRD cases, we can often put the blame on animal health products. It’s important to remember medicine cannot overcome poor management. Good animal husbandry and management practices, reducing stress and a solid nutrition program are critical to positive animal health. Work with your veterinarian to determine where current practices may be contributing to illness.

Producers should consult their veterinarian to help them choose appropriate classes of antibiotics and consider antibiotic characteristics such as the spectrum of activity, mode of action, duration of action, efficacy and withdrawal period to help them treat their herd responsibly. With consistent, thorough application of best practices, the responsible use of antibiotics will help ensure the health of animals and improve food safety for the next generation and beyond.

 

To learn more about tools to help control, treat and prevent BRD on your operation, talk with your Elanco representative or visit ElancoBRD.com.

Producers are watching markets closely as many are selling and shipping feeder cattle.  Kirk Donsbach with Stone X Financial, INC. shares current cattle market trends and what this could mean for producers.

Latest Beef Industry News   Vet Says Beef Producers Must Step Up With H5 Testing

A leading scientist and veterinarian, Kay Russo, warns the beef industry to start monitoring for H5 bird flu crossover from infected dairy herds. Speaking on the MeetingPod podcast, Russo noted that while the virus was first detected in dairy cattle in March and has since impacted poultry farms and workers, there's limited data on beef cattle.

Russo, with a DVM from Cornell and a master’s in avian health from the University of Georgia, emphasized the importance of testing beef cattle for antibodies now that a validated test exists. She stressed, "We can only manage what we know, and this virus isn’t going away.

Canadian Herd To Stabilize In 2025

The Canadian cattle herd is forecast to sustain the long-term trend of contraction to begin 2025 but will begin to stabilize by year’s end on improved feed pricing and availability. A smaller calf crop will be produced based on 2024 breeding stock but heifer retention should improve if feed conditions continue to remain stable or improve. Higher heifer retention coupled with a smaller calf crop will see lowered beef production and slaughter in 2025. As a percent of production, Canadian beef exports are forecast to remain strong while imports are forecast to soften on weakened consumer demand. For the complete article, click HERE.

U.S. Beef Imports Up 21% in 2024

Through August 2024, U.S. beef imports saw a notable increase of 20.87%, rising from 2.51 billion pounds in 2023 to 3.03 billion pounds in 2024. Among the top contributing countries, Canada remained the largest supplier with 658.83 million pounds, a 3.18% increase from last year. Australia showed the most significant growth, with imports surging by 69.95%, reaching 635.69 million pounds, making it the second-largest beef exporter to the U.S. after Canada. Brazil also experienced a sharp increase of 41.89%, with imports growing to 496.21 million pounds.

On the other hand, Mexico saw a decrease of 15.54%, with imports dropping to 386.07 million pounds. Uruguay recorded the highest percentage growth among all countries, with imports increasing by 71.46% to 198.20 million pounds. New Zealand and Nicaragua also contributed to U.S. beef imports, with increases of 8.75% and 1.76%, respectively.

This growth in imports reflects increased global beef supply, with particular strength from regions like Australia and Uruguay, offsetting declines from Mexico. Overall, the U.S. beef import market has expanded significantly year-over-year.

Appeals Court Decides Whether Tyson Owes Ghost Cattle Operator

A federal appeals court sided with a Washington district court’s ruling that Tyson Fresh Meats did not owe Cody Allen Easterday any money for alleged breach-of-contract claims.

Easterday is currently serving a 11-year prison sentence for defrauding the company of $244 million in a ghost cattle scheme. Companies related to his operation had repaid at least $63 million to Tyson as of February 2023.

 

He claimed Tyson owed him approximately $100 million for using his likeness on meat product labels in Japan.

 

USDA Says Hog Had Wild H5N1, Utah Reports First Dairy Outbreak

The avian flu found in a backyard hog in Oregon appears to be a strain of H5N1 contracted directly from wild birds, rather than the strain that crosses over from birds to dairy cattle, according to top USDA officials.

Meanwhile, Utah has confirmed its first outbreak in dairy cattle, with infections discovered on eight farms in Cache County. The appearance followed the culling in early October of the entire flock of 1.8 million chickens after the virus was discovered on a Utah poultry facility for the first time since 2022.

Check out RFD TV’s Facebook page. Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis is a 4-and-a-half-year-old Nelore. One-third of the cow’s ownership was sold to Nelore HRO at Brazil’s Agropecuária Casa Branca. The price tag for the partial ownership— $1.44 million dollars.

Back in 2022, half of the ownership for the same cow broke a record with a $800,000 dollar price tag.

With the most recent purchase, the total worth of Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis is now valued at $4.3 million dollars.

NELORE CATTLE

The Nelore origins date back over 2000 years when the Aryan people brought the ancestors of this breed to India. These ancestors were called Ongole, the change of name to Nelore (which corresponds to a district of the old Presidency of Madrás, now belonging to the new State of Andra, by the Bengal Sea) happened in Brazil by some authors as a synonym to Ongole.

 

This breed, through its history has faced extreme weather conditions, the arid lands of Belushistan, the cold winters of Punjab, the alluvial lands of the Ganges and the torrid lands by the Bengal sea. This provided the Ongole breed with the adaptation genes that are now favourably expressed in the modern Nelore.

 

The Nelore was first acknowledged in Brazil in 1868, when a ship on its way to England carrying two Ongoles stopped in Salvador, Bahia, and the animals were sold. Ten years later, a breeder from Rio de Janeiro, named Manoel Ubelhart Lemgruber, bought another couple from the Hamburg Zoo in Germany. Then the Nelore breed expanded gradually, first in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, then in Minas Gerais, having reached Uberaba in 1875.

 

The creation of the Nelore Herd Book and the definition of the breed standards in Uberaba, 1938, was of great relevance in the formation of the Nelore. In 1960, 20 animals were imported, and in 1962, the last and most relevant purchase of live animals from India authorised by the Brazilian Government, 84 Ongoles were imported. These became founders of important breeding lines like Godahvari, Karvadi and Taj Mahal, and were decisive to the great expansion of the Brazilian herd in the last 30 years, going from 56 million in 1965 to 160 million in 1995, 100 million of which are Nelore.

 

Today, the number of purebred registered Nelore is above 5 million. The challenge faced by selection is to multiply the genetic gains to a much larger population. To multiply the genetic potential of Nelore sires, Artificial Insemination has been used in large scale since the 60’s. Sales of Nelore semen represent 65% of the AI market of all beef breeds in Brazil. The leading Nelore sire there produced and sold 34,000 straws of semen in 1995, followed by another Nelore that sold 30,000, which means that both sires must have bred more than 20,000 cows.

 

The Nelore is of the Bos indicus species and has the characteristic hump above its shoulders and loose skin. It is usually white in colour with a black skin, muzzle and tail, and they have comparatively long legs which helped them walk in water when grazing. Nelore have the shortest ears of most Bos indicus types. The Nelore are horned, these are thick brown horns that point up but there is a naturally polled strain of the breed too.

 

The Nelore has heat and insect resistance due to its loose, thick black skin and covering of white hair which reflects the sun's rays, this breed has sweat glands that are twice as big and 30% more numerous compared to European breeds. It has a slow metabolism which creates less heat and enables it to feed less often adding to its high resistance to bloat.

ALLIED GENETIC RESOURCES

The Allied approach combines consistent genetic value improvement with services to reward producers for making better cattle. Allied services are designed primarily for commercial customer success with practical genetic solutions applied to your specific production system needs.

The seedstock industry’s only purpose is to drive genetic change in the commercial cattle industry by breeding and developing bulls with balanced traits and bred-in profit drivers that add value at the ranch and beyond. Their efforts and dedication are vital to an industry challenged with producing a product that must excel in varying environments, with differing management practices, balanced with maternal and terminal requirements, all while performing in the feedlot and consistently delivering an enjoyable eating experience for the consumer. Not an easy job to say the least.

You’ve worked for years, in some cases for generations, at constant genetic improvement. It would be hard to measure the time and money you’ve invested in genetics to ensure your commercial customers can confidently buy the bulls you produce each year. But that alone is not enough to differentiate you from your competition. In today’s ever-increasingly competitive seedstock business, you’ve got to offer customer service after the sale, including marketing options for your bull customers to capture the value they’ve invested in from your program. That’s where Allied can deliver solutions…

Allied values its relationship with Superior Livestock Auction, providing its bull customers with greater access to the nation’s largest buyer base and the risk management of forward contracting. Clint Berry has worked with buyers and sellers of high-quality cattle for more than a decade, building a solid reputation with ranchers and feeders. Along with his growing team of Superior Livestock reps, strategically distributed throughout cattle country, Clint works daily in the market to build the supply and the demand for load lots of cattle, with added value options that deliver profit throughout each segment of the industry.

Hear the latest on what is happening with USDA’s mandatory electronic id final rule and updates from Northern Livestock Video Auction Feeder Calf Sales.

EPISODE 35 DETAILS WYOMING LED BILL OPPOSES USDA CATTLE ID MANDATE?  

 

Introduction

U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso, alongside U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman, all Republicans from Wyoming, have introduced legislation opposing the USDA’s final rule mandating electronic identification ear tags for bison and cattle.

 

Congressional Review Act Resolution

The Congressional Review Act resolution aims to overturn the USDA’s rule, which is scheduled to take effect on November 5. This rule mandates that ranchers must equip all livestock over 18 months old with electronic identification ear tags if they are transported across state lines, with exemptions only for animals going directly to slaughter.

 

Impact On Ranchers

The Wyoming lawmakers argue that this rule, which is expected to affect approximately 11 million cattle nationwide, will financially burden cattle producers and invade their privacy.

 

USDA’s Stance

The USDA defends the rule, stating that electronic identification ear tags are crucial for quickly identifying and responding to costly foreign animal diseases.

 

Conclusion

The legislation introduced by the Wyoming representatives highlights the ongoing debate between enhancing animal disease tracking and the financial and privacy concerns of cattle producers.

 

NORTHERN LIVESTOCK VIDEO AUCTION

Northern Livestock Video Auction wrapped up their 2024 Early Summer Special Feeder Calf sale June 10 - 11, 2024.  We have the complete market report HERE.

EPISODE 161 DETAILS

To get our cow herd as efficient as possible, one has to take the guesswork out of the equation.  This can be tough no matter what we do because we are dealing with mother nature.  But we CAN use mother nature and science to find the perfect genetic match for our cows.  The seedstock industry has been using these tools for the past several years and they are available for anyone in the commercial business to use.  No more wasted matings, disappointments and not understanding why we had all the variation come weaning time.  Let’s get prescribed matings and add uniformity to our calf crop.  Marty Ropp with Allied Genetic Resources joins us today for a very in depth conversation.  It is complex but it does not have to be confusing and all these wonderful tools are readily available at our fingertips.  We have the latest market recaps from Kirk Donsbach with Stone X Financial, Inc.  Plus the news and information you have come to rely on each and every week!  As always Tigger & BEC and the Ranch It Up crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action not to miss, and cover the cattle markets.

RightMate, Precision Mating Technology, Powered by Top Genomics LLC

Genetic providers have had solid tools to assist in making consistent genetic progress for many years. In the past few years improved EPDs, bolstered by the inclusion of genomic evaluation, have been a great step forward to making the potential for progress even greater. Now there is a tested program that offers substantially more rapid improvement and success from your investment in data collection and genomic testing. RightMate generates specific, precision mating options that take full advantage of complementarity genomics between sires and dams plus all of the EPD power created from today’s massive trait databases and it is easy to use. RightMate will absolutely change the trajectory and consistency of your genetic improvement program.

Never before has a tool been available to the beef business that drives positive change and reduces variability so quickly. Yes, RightMate technology can also help you create a more consistent calf crop. With the slow nature of improvement, because of the relatively low reproductive rate of cattle vs. other species, you simply can’t afford to make decisions that don’t assure progress. This is especially true for those with extensive embryo programs. The cost of filling recipient females with embryos from matings that could have been much better, is just too high to take chances.

Genomically assured recommendations are the key! All of us have had experiences when a mating that looked promising and exciting just didn’t work. There are simply some bulls that should be bred to some females on a genomic basis and others that should not, depending on your breeding objectives and desired outcomes. You choose the bulls you wish to use, and RightMate removes those that are marginal or risky choices on a cow-by-cow basis.  The final product is a list of the best sire choices for each female ranked according to your breeding objectives along with genetic expectations for each mating result.  From that sorted list, you make the call based on your experience and desires for the additional traits that matter to you and your customer’s business.

Managing genetic diversity is another feature of our precision mating tool.  For each mating, a “genomic inbreeding” prediction is part of the process and breeding report with appropriate weighting applied to ensure diversity for the future at a level prioritized by the producer.  This tool has great potential for commercial herds as well, where minimizing the negative effects of inbreeding can have significant positive effects on profitability.

Since 2019 we have grown to more than 100 customer herds using RightMate and RightChoice technologies with overwhelming success. In 2023 alone we will generate more than 15,000 seedstock mating recommendations and our growing list of commercial customers interested in precision mating is growing quickly as well.  The first females created using RightMate precision mating technology are already weaning their second calf crop and using RightMate for the calf sire decisions. The results are just as we had hoped they would be. Herds with much greater rates of genetic improvement for the traits they prioritize, more uniformity and marketability and ultimately more profit for themselves and their customers.

There are currently two RightMate options, but we have customized and blended these options for breeders that wish to. Both options require that raw genotypes are available for Top Genomics to evaluate on every sire and dam in the RightMate or RightMate Plus program.

Better. Stronger. Faster.

RIGHTMATE

1.  Creates genomic mating suggestions for each female in the cowherd and provides decision making tools to guide you through the list of prescribed sires for each female.

2.  Uses the genotypes of up to 20 sires of your choice. You may use different sire lists for heifers vs. cow matings.

RIGHTMATE PLUS

1.  RightMate Plus is designed more for donor or higher impact females.

2.  Females will be test mated to the entire Top Genomic sire database (or by the breed of your choice) and the top choices among the entire list are recommended.

3.  This list of high value sires to choose from with RightMate Plus is large and growing every week.

We wrap up 2023.  We have all the details about Cattle Ponzi Schemes plus we will tell y'all about an opportunity of a lifetime to lay into one of the most efficient sets of cows around.  Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC', and our crew as we bring you the latest in markets, news, and Western entertainment on this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel.

EPISODE 165 DETAILS So many of you have reached out inquiring about the latest details about the Agridime Cattle Ponzi Scheme.  It gets rather complicated, but BEC and I break it down for you.  

Some of the most feed efficient cows around are coming up for sale.  Lucky 7 Angus Ranch is selling their spring calving Oklahoma cows at public auction, January 8th at Ogallala Livestock Auction in Ogallala, Nebraska.  

AGRIDIME

According to articles in the Bismarck Tribune and Ag Week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed a civil lawsuit against the company on Dec. 11, has labeled the operation a Ponzi scheme, in which Agridime was using investor money to pay existing investors and commissions to salespeople rather than using new money to do what it said it would — purchase, feed and care for cattle to be finished and sold to consumers as beef. The SEC has received a temporary restraining order, including an asset freeze, on the company owned by Joshua Link of Arizona and Jed Wood of Texas, through Jan. 9, pending a hearing on Jan. 5.

As of Sept. 5, 2023, Agridime-held cattle contracts required payment to investors of $123 million in principal, plus $24 million in guaranteed "profits." The company, as of Sept. 30, 2023, had less than $1.5 million and insufficient operating revenues, the SEC complaint said.

Carl Karpinski, enforcement attorney for the North Dakota Securities Department, said there is no confirmed tally yet on investment losses in North Dakota. But he said the eventual number may be significant.

"North Dakota is one of the most — if not the most — affected states" in the nation, he said.

While the SEC complaint did not go into specifics about the cattle the company did purchase, other than specifying that "Defendants did not buy the number of cattle required to fulfill the Company's obligations under the Cattle Contracts," Agridime was licensed as a livestock agent in North Dakota. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced on Dec. 15 that it no longer will be licensed in the state.

“Agridime was licensed in North Dakota,” Goehring said in a statement. “Their renewal was pending based on issues with bonding. The actions taken by the SEC will support our denial of their license and we will issue a cease-and-desist order, effective (Dec. 15), to prevent further purchase of livestock.”

Karpinski said the Securities Department is not working on the cattle sales side of the case, though the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture are involved. Ellingson encouraged producers involved in the case to contact the Stockmen's Association at 701-223-2522.

HOW AGRIDIME OPERATED The SEC complaint said Agridime raised $191 million from more than 2,100 investors in at least 15 states since January 2021. Instead of using investor money as advertised, the SEC filing said Agridime has used at least $58 million from Dec. 1, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2023, in investor funds from new cattle contracts to make principal and profit payments to previous investors.

Agridime would sell investors cattle contracts for $2,000 per calf. The company would then promise to buy the cattle back a year later at return rates of 15% to 32%, the complaint says.

Agridime paid commissions to salespeople, typically 10%, for each cattle contract sold, which also was not disclosed to investors. The SEC documents say that through May 2023, commissions paid exceeded $11.1 million in total, including "at least $5.6 million to a salesperson in North Dakota," $1.3 million to Link and his wife and $1.3 million to Wood.

By using the funds to make previous investor payments and to pay commissions, "Agridime has not purchased enough cattle to fulfill its Cattle Contracts. Agridime's investors, therefore, do not actually invest in specific, identifiable animals. Instead, the success of their investments depends on the success of Agridime's purported cattle operation, including its ability to attract new investors."

Agridime had operations in Texas, Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota and "other states," court documents said. In North Dakota, Securities Commissioner Karen Tyler on May 24, 2023, ordered a cease and desist order against Agridime and Link. Neither Agridime nor Link were registered as an issue-dealer or a broker-dealer in North Dakota, the cease and desist order said. Despite that, Link on Sept. 7, 2022, sold an investment contract to a North Dakota resident for $250,000, the order said.

The SEC complaint said Agridime sold $9 million in 18 cattle contracts to North Dakota residents since the issuance of the cease and desist order in May. Agridime also sold $1 million in cattle contracts to Arizona residents since a similar order was issued there on April 18, 2023, and an Agridime salesman there admitted under oath on Oct. 18 that he still was selling contracts in Arizona. The state of Arizona in November filed a contempt motion against Agridime and Link.

Tyler issued another cease and desist order in North Dakota on Dec. 15 against Taylor Bang of Killdeer, which alleged that Bang, despite not being registered as an agent with the Securities Department, had received $6,055,390 in "transaction based commissions by selling unregistered cattle investment contracts on behalf of Agridime in or from North Dakota" from Jan. 1, 2021, through Oct. 30, 2023. Under North Dakota law, the North Dakota Securities Commissioner can assess civil penalties of $10,000 per violation of the Securities Act.

Bang said he’s always approached his business honestly and was simply taking direction from Agridime.

“I was just doing a job.”

 Bang disputes the claim that he made more than $6 million in commissions from Agridime. He said that figure is “way high” and that he wasn’t sure how the Securities Department arrived at that number. The Securities Department says it calculated the figure from subpoenaed financial records.

Bang said he was aware of the May cease-and-desist order the North Dakota Securities Department filed against Agridime and Link, but that as far as he could tell, the company took the legal demands outlined in the orders seriously and was working to address them.

The rancher said he’s worked with Agridime for roughly seven or eight years. He said he still thinks very highly of the company and is proud to support the American livestock industry.   “To date, I have not had one person that has done this, as far as the cattle-purchasing contracts, not get paid on time,” Bang said.

In the Dec. 15 order, Tyler ordered Bang to turn over all commissions received from Agridime, to be deposited into the North Dakota Investor Restitution Fund and to be liable along with Agridime to Agridime investors.

LUCKY 7 ANGUS In 1895 James Jensen started a five-generation ranch, from which came Lucky 7 Angus. That first winter he lived in a dug out on the side of a hill and shoveled snow off the grass to feed his 3 horses and 7 cows in what is called the Nation's Icebox, Boulder, Wyoming. We know very well the blood, sweat and tears it takes to keep the family ranch afloat. And that is why we take it very seriously that our customers are the most profitable in the livestock industry.

Lucky 7 Angus was started in order to raise bulls that could hold up better for commercial cattlemen, such as ourselves. We have accomplished the goal... For the past 30 years we have been unmatched in raising cows and bulls in tougher conditions than the rest of the industry, which has made the most durable bulls for our customers. We were the first seedstock operation to set minimum standards for PAP testing. The number of animals tested with these standards, are unmatched in the industry, which helps our customers with less sickness and death loss. We were the first seedstock operation to test for feed efficiency in real world conditions. Then in 2002 we started feed efficiency testing by purchasing large vertical mixers in order to know how much every cow, calf and bull on the place ate. In 2009 we were the first Angus only seedstock producer in the U.S. to purchase a GrowSafe feed intake monitoring system. Lucky 7 Angus is unmatched in the industry by having both real world and scientific feed efficiency testing data, which allows our customers to make more pounds of beef per acre. The measures we have taken in producing our genetics gave us enough confidence in our bulls to offer the nation's first 4 year guarantee.

EPISODE 24 DETAILS AMERICAN FARMERS NETWORK TO SET CRITERIA FOR RE-GEN, GRASS-FED BEEF.  

American Farmers Network (AFN) announced it is spearheading the establishment of comprehensive certification criteria for regenerative grass-fed beef production. With USDA approval to use the Regenerative Agriculture claim on its packaging, AFN said it aims to set industry standards across the beef category, the organization said in a release.

 

AFN's said its partnership with certifying organizations aims to create transparent standards for the beef industry, aligning with regenerative agriculture principles of soil health and animal welfare. 

AFN plans to work with retailers and partners to make regeneratively raised beef accessible nationwide.

 

 By providing incentives to producers to adopt regenerative practices, AFN seeks to cultivate a more sustainable agricultural landscape.

 

 The certification criteria will cover grazing management, soil health, animal welfare and social responsibility, the company said. Ranches meeting these standards will earn formal certification, distinguishing their products as sustainable and ethical choices in the marketplace.

 

LIVESTOCK INVENTORY DECLINE HURTING COLD STORAGE NUMBERS. 

The USDA's March Cold Storage report revealed declines in red meat and poultry supplies for 2024. 

Analysis from Market Intel detailed how the declining livestock inventories are impacting the cold storage numbers. Red meat in freezers decreased by 4% from February 2023, hitting a 23-year low at 1.05 billion pounds, while frozen poultry stocks remained stable at 1.03 billion pounds. The March Cattle on Feed report showed a 1% increase in cattle on feed compared to 2023, indicating continued liquidation in the U.S. cattle industry, possibly impacting beef prices.

It’s the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Join me Jeff Tigger Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka Bec, and my crew as we devote this entire episode to Livestock Risk Protection Insurance.  Is this a product for your operation?  Maybe… We have it all covered on this very important episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show!

Episode Details

Let's Ranch it Up!  What are these current feeder cattle prices looking like for your operation?  Are you going to be in the black?  The experts are saying that we need to strike while the "iron it hot"!  We all know that these prices will not last forever so the big question is how can we use different financial products to make sure that the prices we need are going to be the prices that we receive? This is where LRP Insurance or Livestock Risk Protection Insurance comes into play.  But we understand that this can be intimidating and down right scary when we don't understand how the entire product works.  We bring in the professionals and really dive into the rabbit hole about Livestock Risk Protection Insurance.  And remember, if you have questions, we take great pride in getting you in touch with the individuals, businesses and programs to help make your operation more profitable.  Plus, we cover the current markets and trends and have updates on livestock for sale from our partners at Livestock Market.  Tigger & BEC's crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action to not miss, and cover the cattle markets.

Livestock Risk Protection Insurance (LRP)

Feeder Cattle (LRP-Feeder Cattle) is designed to insure against declining market prices. You may choose from a variety of coverage levels and insurance periods that match the time your feeder cattle would normally be marketed (ownership may be retained). 

COW COUNTRY NEWS

• A reminder, OTC livestock antibiotics will require a prescription starting June 11.  We will have more updates next week!
