“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 jailtime,” said NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus. “FinCEN should do the right thing and provide a realistic delay to the Corporate Transparency Act until Congress has an opportunity to provide a permanent fix that protects family farmers and ranchers.”

On Monday, 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—just three weeks from now. This delay does not allow enough time for millions of small businesses to comply with the law, and it is deeply concerning that FinCEN will proceed with enforcing this law when it has failed to give adequate notice and instructions to law abiding family business owners.

NCBA will continue fighting for a permanent solution that protects cattle farmers and ranchers from this overreaching mandate. In the meantime, cattle producers are advised to consult their attorney and/or tax professional regarding this new development.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has represented America’s cattle producers since 1898, preserving the heritage and strength of the industry through education and public policy.  As the largest association of cattle producers, NCBA works to create new markets and increase demand for beef.  Efforts are made possible through membership contributions. To join, contact NCBA at 1-866-BEEF-USA or membership@beef.org.

The post Beef Quality Assurance sessions in Iowa set for January 2025 appeared first on Morning Ag Clips.

Since 1985, the University of Florida has provided an educational conference and trade show of industry professionals for cattle ranchers in the Florida Panhandle, Southeast Alabama, and Southwest Georgia.  One of the core principles of this annual event is practical recommendations for cow-calf producers based on research-based information.  This year, the planning team has invited a veteran team of cattle and forage specialists to focus on a core area of ranching, managing the cow herd.  The focus of the 2025 Beef Cattle Conference is “Profitable Cow Herd Management.”

The cattle market is expected to very strong in 2025, but input costs have also risen to levels that require calculated investment.  The program will start with a 2025 Cattle Market Outlook, provided by Hannah Baker, UF/IFAS Cattle and Forage Economist.  Dr. Rick Rasby, Nebraska Cow-Calf Extension Specialist, will be the keynote speaker.  He will discuss the best tools he has observed for managing a cow herd profitability over his 39-year career.  Dr. Joe Vendramini, UF/IFAS Forage Specialist, has been working on managing a range of forages for cattle production for the past 20 years.  He will focus on forage management for the cow herd.  Dr. Todd Thift, UF/IFAS Cow-Calf Specialist, will share from his 27 years of experience on culling strategies for the mature cow herd.  Not just selling open cows, but other parameters to consider.  Kalyn Waters, UF/IFAS Holmes County, a 13-year veteran extension professional, will provide the final presentation that will focus on cull cow marketing and timing to optimize income. These five presentations will certainly not provide all the answers to the challenges faced in 2025, but they will help producers develop a strategic plan for their operation.

Thursday will start out with keynote speakers Dr. Derrell Peel from Oklahoma State University and Dr. Troy Rowan from University of Tennessee. Also speaking Thursday will be Dr. Marta Kohmann from the University of Wisconsin.

Dr. Marta Kohmann will speak on “Managing Pastures for Long-Term Production”. Grazing management is no easy task. Several decisions are needed to ensure productive pastures that keep up with animal requirements long term. Dr. Kohmann will go over main principles of sustainable pasture management. Some of the most recent grazing studies that are underway will be shared as well.

Rounding out Thursday evening after dinner will be the popular “Bull Pen” discussion featuring a panel of locker plant managers from the Driftless Area sharing their insights and answering questions about marketing beef locally.

Friday morning will start out with a breakfast session on “Challenges and Joys of Family Farm Transitions” where Bruce and Peyton River of Maquoketa, IA will share their experiences on these challenges.

Following the breakfast session, breakout sessions will be offered on a variety of topics. One track will focus on the cow herd while the other focuses more on feedlot aspects.

The feedlot focused sessions this year will be led by Joseph Lensing from Iowa State University, Erika Woolfolk from Iowa State University, Denise Schwab from Iowa State University, and Josh McCann from University of Illinois.

Joseph Lensing will talk about “Risk Management in a High-Priced Market” focusing on analyzing the risk protection and strategies to protect the value of feeder and fed cattle in the current market.

Erika Woolfolk will talk about “Effects of Market Timing and Performance Technologies on Marketing Decisions for High Quality Midwest Cattle”. This talk will share results of a study conducted at Iowa State University to evaluate the tradeoff related to days on feed and market timing contingent on feeds costs, grid premiums, and discounts for high quality cattle sold on a carcass or grid market basis.

Denise Schwab will talk about the “BeefXDairy Lifetime Performance Project” which was an Iowa State University project that looked at the impacts of early life nutrition on lifetime growth, health, and performance on beef dairy cross calves. The final results of the study will be shared as well as implications for managing beef dairy cross calves for performance, health, and carcass merit.

Josh McCann will talk about “Causes and Costs of Erratic Intake in the Feedyard”. Consistent dry matter intake is the hallmark of good management. McCann will discuss why it is important to consider the causes and costs of erratic feed intake.

Finally, to wrap up the conference, everyone will come together again and hear Derrell Peel talk on “Cattle Market Outlook: 2025 and Beyond” which encompasses the current cattle market situation and factors affecting producer profitability.

The post Driftless Region Beef Conference Offered in Dubuque appeared first on Morning Ag Clips.

The Prime Promoter Award was started in 2017 by the Minnesota Beef Council and the Beef Checkoff Program and is given to recognize any group or organization who performs outstanding promotion of beef throughout the year. Winners of the Prime Promoter Award are provided with a plaque and $500 to go towards beef promotions. This year’s recipient of the award was Three Rivers Cattlemen’s Association.

Three Rivers Cattlemen’s is an active, local affiliate cattlemen’s organization. The association encompasses Dodge, Goodhue, and Olmstead county, as well as other surrounding counties. The group regularly goes above-and-beyond to assist in promoting beef. As a nonprofit organization, they promote and provide education to youth, public, and its beef producers about cow/calf and feedlot production, cooking, and nutritional information on beef.

The association gives back to youth organizations such as 4-H and FFA through supporting the beef project in each county that has members. Additionally, they provide a youth scholarship to a high school senior or freshman pursuing college education in agriculture.

Serving beef extensively throughout the region is also something the Three River’s Cattlemen’s Association believes in and facilitates. Of these events is the Burger Barn at the Goodhue County Fair where one of their feature items is the “Raging Bull Burger,” providing a t-shirt to customers who order it along with selling beef seasoning. Other events the association grills at includes the Goodhue Family Fun Fest, AGR North Star Classic Cattle Show, and the association’s annual meeting.

Present at the convention to receive the award on behalf of the entire Three River’s Cattlemen’s Association were Amanda Armstrong and Carl Sackreiter, both beef producers and members of the organization holding leadership positions. Carl is a cow/calf and feedlot producer as well as a nutritionist for a local co-op, serving as the President of Three Rivers Cattlemen’s.

“We’re very honored to receive the Prime Promoter Award,” said Sackreiter. “Our association has been around since 1989 and continues to support the beef industry by promoting and providing education to our producers and consumers.”

Three Rivers Cattlemen’s has an active social media presence and uses the platform to educate others on the many benefits of beef, including pertinent topics from both the Minnesota Beef Council and the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association.

To follow along with activities of this association, follow them on Facebook at Three Rivers Cattlemen. For more information on the Minnesota Beef Council, visit mnbeef.org.

About the Minnesota Beef Council

The post Three Rivers Cattlemen’s Association Awarded as Prime Promoter of the Year appeared first on Morning Ag Clips.

I expect the January Cattle Inventory report to show some additional liquidation has occurred leading to a smaller calf crop in 2025. It seems most likely that the summer of 2026 is the soonest substantial national heifer retention may begin. While there is recently elevated uncertainty around international trade that should not be overlooked, most anticipate domestic beef availability to decline perhaps by 2-3% per year (per person) in 2025 and 2026.

Given this setting and the opportunity for some extended armchair-pondering around the holidays, some context on economic concepts and an important historical reminder is prudent. Economists analyzing the beef industry use the term “demand” to refer to the willingness and ability to buy beef at a specific price. A change in beef demand is not triggered by changes in beef prices but rather by consumer income or wealth adjustments, changes in prices of other goods, or perceptions of beef quality evolving. To this later point, the clear improvement in overall beef quality (simple example is Prime or Upper Choice percentage versus past decades) has been core to beef demand growth (see K-State demand indices here: https://agmanager.info/livestock-meat/meat-demand/monthly-domestic-meat-demand-indices-usdabls-data/monthly-domestic-0 ).

As we turn to 2025 it is important to pause and connect the dots around things such as current feedlot supplies, future breeding herd size and corresponding beef availability, and what one may expect at the retail and food service level. Yes, lower beef supplies are expected and with that, most anticipate higher end-user beef prices. In fact, the industry should be hoping for that! Research with Melissa McKendree, Ted Schroeder, and Nathan Hendricks (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1093/ajae/aaz034 ) shows that feeder cattle sellers stand to gain the most when beef demand grows, and lose the most when demand falters.

If alternatively, lower beef availability is observed in conjunction with flat or lower beef prices, then beef demand clearly declined. In that unfortunate situation, economic viability for most in the industry also declines. While some younger market participants may dismiss this scenario, recall the 1980s & 90s was a period largely characterized by a shrinking herd, weakening beef demand, and overall decline in industry vitality. Indeed, lower beef volumes alone do not guarantee higher beef nor cattle prices. This experience is worth periodic reflection as the industry has made massive improvements that should not be overlooked or taken for granted. To the extent that beef prices increase reflecting stable or growing beef demand that indeed is a market outcome that should not only “be allowed” but encouraged. While the term “demand destruction” is likely to appear more in coming months, industry stakeholders are encouraged to take pause and in fact hope that higher prices develop reflecting stable or growing beef demand.

Finally, and most importantly I wish all readers a Merry Christmas, the ability to see the true reason for the season, and a joyous New Year.

The post In the Cattle Markets: Dec. Cattle on Feed Report & Cautionary Note on “Demand Destruction” appeared first on Morning Ag Clips.

Feeding programs are an obvious consideration for the winter months.  Hay quality drives supplementation programs, and quality cannot be evaluated visually.  If the hay supply has not yet been tested, that is step one. Then take steps to develop feeding programs that fill nutritional holes in the most cost-effective manner.

Cow body condition, especially prior to calving, is the second puzzle piece to evaluate.  If possible, separate thinner cows from their better conditioned counterparts and feed each group accordingly, based on hay quality determined by the above mentioned hay test.  Be sure feeding spaces are adequate for the number of cattle in the management group.

Review production records from the 2024 calf crop.  Determine if weaning weights increased, decreased, or stayed steady and try to figure out why these changes occurred.  In addition to weaning weights, look at age at weaning.  Calves gain about 2.0 pounds per day.  If weaning weights are down, look at calf age and try to figure out if calves are simply younger at weaning, and if so, why did that happen.

If the calving season is strung out, try to figure out why.  Was there a nutritional or reproductive management issue?  Did a bull go bad during the breeding season?  Was there some weather-related event that reduced breeding activity?  If notes are made in record books about unusual occurrences throughout the year, they can serve as reminders of possible causes for changes or reductions in productivity in a particular year.

Production records don’t have to be complicated in order to be useful.  Calving records are the first step and there are a couple options: (1) record the total number of cows that calve each day of the calving season, or (2) individually identify each calf and record its’ date of birth and mother.

Calving date is a key component of herd weaning weight data, so look at calving records by 21-day calving intervals to determine what percentage of calves were born in the first 21-day period, the second 21-day period, etc.  The goal is to have most of the calves born in either the first or second 21-day calving period.  This indicates good nutritional and reproductive management of the cow herd.  

The usefulness of production records cannot be overemphasized.  However, simply collecting data is a worthless exercise.  Records do need to be studied and the information they contain needs to be used in order for the effort to be worthwhile.

If you are looking for a method of keeping production records, many county extension offices have the “Red Books” available for purchase.  These books contain places to record most of the annual activities that occur on a beef operation.  Contact me at the extension center in Sedalia at 660-827-0591 or by e-mail at schmitze@missouri.edu if you have additional questions.
