Risk Management Workshop in Wahoo
Nebraska Extension will host a risk management workshop for cattle producers from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at the 4-H Building on the Saunders County Fairgrounds, 635 E. 1st St., in Wahoo. Cattle producers will learn strategies designed to reduce risk exposure to achieve a profitable outcome in uncertain times.
Current issues facing the cattle industry will be discussed to help producers to make more informed decisions facing the industry.
Beef Niche Markets
Over the last several months, the profit margins for beef producers have been slim at best. While cost of gain and transportation costs rise, the fat cattle board is one of few commodities that has not skyrocketed. Conversely, box beef and retail prices have drastically increased, and large packers have been prospering while producers are left to metaphorically “squeeze blood from a stone.” Diversifying entities or utilizing niche markets are two different ideologies producers have adopted to increase revenue.
