Cow-calf producers are at a fork in the road, according to CattleFax, the global leader in beef industry research, analysis and information. The current expansion environment has produced record profitability and exposed the segment to more financial and production risk than any other time in recent history. CattleFax will address this challenge during its next Trends+ Cow-Calf Webinar at 5:30 p.m. MT, Jan. 21, 2015.
Calf prices are nearly $100/cwt. higher than last year at this time, and bred cow values have increased nearly $1000/head in the last year. The dynamic market shift occurring in 2014 has motivated cow-calf expansion and created indecision at the same time.
During the one-hour session, CattleFax analysts Mike Murphy and Lance Zimmerman will discuss how producers can navigate marketing decisions and business plans for the next five to 10 years. To participate in the webinar and access program details, producers and industry leaders simply need to register online at www.cattlefax.com/meetings.aspx.
