    Should We Sell Heifers Or Should We Keep Heifers, Beef Imports Updates & MCOOL

    We find out whether to sell those heifer calves or keep them. Plus updates on beef imports, mandatory country of origin labeling, markets, sales and so much more 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 203 DETAILS Keep or Sell Heifer Calves, Beef Imports & MCOOL Feeder Heifers: Sell Now or Hold Sell or Background Heifer Calves, The Pros & Cons Feeder cattle prices have been outstanding all summer long.  And many producers are faced with the dilemma of selling heifers and turning the cash or keeping heifers to go back into the cow herd.  Mike Bolinger with Superior Livestock joins us discussing the pros and cons of both options, where we are at in the cowherd inventory and how beef imports could affect prices of beef.   Latest Beef Checkoff & Industry News   Beef Producers Ask For Fed Support Of MCOOL According to MeatingPlace.com, nearly three dozen groups associated with beef production, ranching and the environment signed on to a letter sent to the U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, asking for her support to restore mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef. Producer organizations, including Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA) regularly endeavor to keep MCOOL issues part of the national legislative conversation. This, although the World Trade Organization ruled in 2014 that such meat labeling law violates U.S. international trade obligations by discriminating against Canadian cattle and pigs and Mexican cattle. Referencing a letter that Tai had published in the British newspaper Financial Times, in which she said she was committed to “meet working people where they are, redesigning the incentive structure so that communities are not pitted against each other,” the letter said, “This is precisely the help that ranchers and consumers need and consistent with your comments. We respectfully request that you issue a statement to lawmakers regarding your office’s position as to whether the United States has the authority to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling for beef in the face of the substantive trade reforms you are seeking, including at the World Trade Organization.” The letter and a list of the signing organizations are available HERE. Drought Continues for Oklahoma Drought conditions have increased rapidly in Oklahoma in recent weeks. The latest Drought Monitor shows that 78.58 percent of Oklahoma is abnormally dry or in some stage of drought. Because of the dry conditions, very little wheat has been planted at this time or it has been “dusted in” to await hoped-for rain. Prospects for winter wheat grazing are decreasing with each passing week. Wheat planted after mid-September will have less time to grow sufficient forage for winter grazing — assuming moisture is forthcoming. The start of winter grazing will be pushed back, and stocking rates will likely be reduced due to less available forage through the winter. Oklahoma range and pasture conditions have deteriorated rapidly in the last month, with the percentage of pastures rated poor to very poor increasing from 19% to 34% in the last four weeks. Going into the winter in drought is ominous and raises concerns about 2025 forage prospects. Fortunately, hay supplies are much improved this year, which will help with winter feed needs. The combination of this year’s hay production and very large carryover stocks (May 1) from last year, leaves Oklahoma with record large total hay supplies this year — over 20% larger than the 10-year average. The lack of wheat stocker demand and the beginning of the fall run of calves is putting pressure on cattle auction prices. Many unweaned calves are beginning to show up at auctions. Unweaned calves take a bigger discount, especially in the fall as variable weather increases animal health challenges and risks. There

In action at the end of its September 4-5 meeting in Denver, Colorado, the Beef Promotion Operating Committee (BPOC) approved Checkoff funding for a total of 12 “Authorization Requests” – or grant proposals – for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2024. The committee, which includes 10 producers and importers from the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and 10 producers from the Federation of State Beef Councils, also recommended full Cattlemen’s Beef Board approval of a budget amendment to reflect the split of funding between budget categories affected by their decisions. Eight contractors and two subcontractors brought 12 Authorization Requests worth approximately $46.8 million to the BPOC this week, approximately $8.8 million more than the funds available from the CBB budget. “We’re consistently impressed with the proposals that our contractors bring forward each year, and choosing which initiatives to fund is a real challenge,” said Andy Bishop, CBB and BPOC chair. “Our budget amounts to slightly less each year because of inflation. To put it in perspective, a dollar in 1985 is worth just 35 cents¹ today. That means we simply don’t have the buying power that we had when this program first started.  “As we expected, the Authorization Requests we reviewed this week were full of new ideas and innovative approaches supporting the Checkoff’s core programs of research, promotion, foreign marketing, industry information, consumer information and producer communications. Our committee did a great job of balancing our budget and distributing our limited funds in what we believe is the most optimal way possible. I personally thank our contractors and committee members for all their hard work, and I look forward to future Checkoff successes throughout FY25.” In the end, the BPOC approved proposals from eight national beef organizations for funding through the FY25 Cattlemen’s Beef Board budget, as follows: American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture - $600,000 Cattlemen’s Beef Board - $1,800,000 Foundation for Meat and Poultry Research and Education - $600,000 Meat Import Council of America / Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative - $900,000 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association - $25,700,000 National Institute for Animal Agriculture - $95,000 North American Meat Institute - $280,000 United States Meat Export Federation - $8,000,000 Broken out by budget component – as out

    How Much Beef Is Being Imported

Once again, imports from Australia accounted for the largest portion of the year-over-year increase, up 75 percent from last year. Imports from Brazil were up nearly 51 percent year over year and imports from New Zealand were up 13 percent. Imports from smaller suppliers, including Argentina and Uruguay, were higher as well. Monthly imports from North America in June were significantly smaller than last year, with imports from Canada falling below 70 thousand for the first time since 2021. Throughout 2024, imports from Mexico have been consistently lower than the same period a year before.  In light of of this information and with the lack of producers retaining heifers, many have speculated that there will be on pace to import 1 billions pounds of beef from both Australia and Canada.   Second-quarter imports totaled 1.012 billion pounds, a year-over-year increase of 12 percent. Leading that increase were imports from Australia, up nearly 59 percent year over year. The second-highest increase by volume in quarterly imports was from Uruguay, up almost 25 million pounds over the same period last year; Argentina sent nearly 13 million pounds more compared to last year. The chart below shows year-to-date imports through June for the top five suppliers. Imports from Australia continue to make up a much larger share of total imports compared to a year ago.

    Are Program Cattle Bringing A Premium

    We talk about program feeder cattle and 3rd party verified feeder cattle.  We have the latest news and markets, plus production sales you need to know.  Tune in to 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. Program Cattle Sales & Beef Industry News Do Program Cattle & 3rd Party Verified Bring Dollars   Latest Calf Sales Enrolled As Program Cattle You’ve heard about program cattle or having your herd 3rd party verified. The question of whether it pays always comes to the forefront. Well known cattle marketing expert and Superior Livestock representative Clint Berry, briefly discusses current trends in program cattle and 3rd party verification.  He discusses strategies for producers who may have not marketed this year’s calf crop along with projections of what fall cattle prices may be.  For a complete report from Superior Livestock, click HERE.  Latest Beef Industry News USDA To Require More Proof For Animal-Raising And Environmental Claims Companies that tout certain animal-raising and environmental claims on meat and poultry labels will need more documentation, according to updated guidelines from the USDA. The agency said the move aligns with efforts to protect consumers from misleading labels and supports President Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack emphasized that these updates promote transparency and fairness, ensuring that consumers can trust the labels on meat products. The guidelines “strongly encourage” third-party certification to validate claims such as "Raised Without Antibiotics," "Grass-Fed," "Free-Range," and "Climate-Friendly.”   USDA Authorizes First H5n1 Cattle Vaccine Field Study The USDA has authorized the first field trials for an H5N1 vaccine designed specifically for use in cattle. USDA’s Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) has issued public notice that it is “now accepting submissions for field studies to support conditional or full licensure of nonviable, non-replicating vaccines.” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in Boone, Iowa, at the annual Farm Progress Show, that there are “a number of companies that have been working on vaccines, and one company has now presented sufficient information to the USDA to allow me to authorize, the first field trial of a vaccine for cattle H5N1 for safety purposes.” The initial field study of nonviable, non-replicating vaccine against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 is to be administered to dairy cattle to evaluate safety. “This would be the first field safety study for a bovine specific H5N1 vaccine and the first time a HPAI vaccine field study would be conducted outside a laboratory setting or on any type of commercial farm in the United States,” USDA said. The agency emphasized that the field trials will only involve “non-viable, non-replicating vaccines” that do not cause virus shedding. Cattle vaccinated thereby can not transmit virus to other animals, milk, meat, people or into the environment, and these cattle and their products will stay in normal production.   USDA Expects Continued High Beef Imports From Uruguay Into 2025 The United States has grown rapidly as a market for Uruguayan beef, a trend likely to continue into next year, according to a new report from the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Uruguay has recently jumped to sixth among the countries of origin for US beef imports, mostly frozen boneless, as “a profitable market which helps local meat packers compensate for lower exports at weaker prices to China.   Mcdonald’s — Value In The U.S., Big Burgers Elsewhere According to meating place dot com, for much of the summer of 2024, McDonald’s has marketed “value” in the U.S., seeing lower-income consumer traffic drop noticeably as food inflation has risen.

    Nebraska Launches Battle Against Cultivated Meat

    EPISODE 45 DETAILS Nebraska Launches Battle Against Cultivated Meat Nebraska Poised to Fight Cultivated Meat Nebraska Executive Order Enacted By Governor Nebraska is poised to become the fourth U.S. state to formally institute laws that restrict the sale of cultivated meat, now that Gov. Jim Pillen has signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies and contractors from buying cultivated meat products starting in 2025. Pillen is working with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) to develop new guidelines to “protect the state’s agriculture industry as well as consumers, from lab-grown meat.   Pillen also is calling on the NDA to begin developing a rulemaking process to ensure that any cultivated meat products sold in stores in Nebraska are “properly labeled and are not marketed next to natural meat on the same shelves.” Plans also call for the Nebraska state legislature to begin drafting a law to ban lab-grown meat in the Cornhusker State that could go into effect next year, the announcement said. Florida became the first state to enact a cultivated meat ban criminalizing the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat that went into effect July 1 and prompted an outcry from investors in biotech and food companies, in addition to sparking a lawsuit by alternative protein company Upside Foods. Similar legislation was introduced In Alabama and Ohio soon after the initial move on cultivated meat by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.   SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSAJorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

It is known to increase milk production, control ketosis, reduce bloat, control coccidiosis, improve feed efficiency and reproductive performance.   If dogs, pigs or horses ingest monensin, it can be fatal. For horses, monensin can lead to myocardial necrosis, heart failure and death. There is no cure for monensin poisoning, veterinarians can only provide palliative care to horses that ingest it. Horses that survive a dose of monensin will most likely suffer from heart damage for the rest of their lives.     Beyond Meat Struggles To Pay Bills Data from Creditsafe show that Beyond Meat is struggling to pay its bills, with 36% of payments 91 days late or more so far in 2024, according to an article by Food Dive.   SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSAJorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?
