Improving Feeder Cattle Prices In New York – Ag Matters
We know buying in large groups can be a financial benefit. Cornell Cooperative Extension believes that selling in a larger quantity, in his case feeder cattle, could be more profitable too. At the very least improve cattle prices.
A new marketing project initiated by Cornell University Beef Extension Specialist, Mike Baker, and administered by local CCE educators is underway across New York State.
The goal is to improve feeder cattle prices for NY beef producers by pooling larger groups of cattle with similar weights, conformation, genetics and health management protocols.
CCE will host a learning session at the Farm and Home Center at 121 Second Street in Oriskany this Friday May 1st, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. In addition to Baker, Boehringer-Ingelheim pharmaceutical representative, Hannah McCabe will be available at the meeting. There is no cost to attend, but reservations are appreciated. Contact Marylynn at 315-736-3394 ext. 132 to reserve your spot.
