Welcome to this week's newsletterEditorial: Feed Prices - How High Can They Go? ![]()
We have 4 new features this week: EU Cattle Prices Strong as Output Declines European cattle prices have increased strongly to date in 2012 with prices more than 12 per cent higher at 381c/kg, according to Peter Duggan from the Strategic Information Services at Bord Bia-Irish Food Board. New Programme to Control IBR An outbreak of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis in dairy cattle in the UK could cost producers around two litres of milk per cow per day or the equivalent of about £180 in a year, writes Chris Harris, Editor in Chief. Crossbred Bull Fix A good crossbreeding programme takes some background in genetics, a big enough herd and land base, good bull suppliers and time to figure all that out. Producers looking for a simpler route to heterosis often opt to use a composite bull, writes Miranda Reiman for Certified Angus Beef. Tips for Strategic Culling, Cow Body Condition Scoring and Replacement Selection High supplemental feed costs and persistent drought in some areas, should motivate producers to evaluate their feed resources and management plans heading into the fall and winter months, writes Bob Weaber, a Cow-Calf Extension Specialist at Kansas State University. ![]()
