The Free “Protecting Your Profits” Webinar Will Take Place on September 18 at 12 p.m. EST
It has been a quiet summer for wholesale beef demand, but that could change. To hear the latest updates on the cattle market and opportunities to manage your risk on cull cows and calves, join the Center for Dairy Excellence’s free webinar titled “Beyond Milk Checks: Managing Beef Income Streams” on Friday, September 18 from 12-1 p.m. Hear expert insight from Kathleen Noble Wolfley and Owen TeVelde from Ever.Ag.
“From the Mexican border opening to feeder cattle imports to the JBS plant closing in Pennsylvania, there are a lot of recent cattle market updates that affect dairy producers,” said Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “We hope you’ll join us for this September webinar to learn what packer health, retail beef demand, drought, and other cattle market dynamics mean for the dairy industry – and strategies you can implement to manage your risk on cull cows and calves.”
During the webinar, attendees will get updates on:
- Mexican border opening to feeder cattle imports and its effect on US cattle prices
- Packer health and impact of persistent negative margins (JBS in Pennsylvania as an example)
- Retail beef demand dynamics and food service trends
- Why drought in the west could stifle potential rebuild in the cattle herd
- What all this means to dairy
- What producers can do to manage their cattle market risk
