Bar V advances with CAB
North Dakota is home to a ranch and feedlot that targets the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand. Bar V Ranch LTD, Jamestown, N.D., has been committed to producing high-quality Angus cattle since the 1970s. In May, the Bar V 1,500-head feedlot took that commitment to the next level.
CAB information team grows
Laura Nelson, a recent University of Wyoming graduate from the rural Nebraska side of Pine Bluffs, Wyo., joined the Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) staff June 1.
Meat case math
When cattlemen put an asking price on a bull or a load of calves, they set it as high as they can reasonably hope for a sale. At an auction, the sale manager announces the target price before calling for bids. Grocers take a similar tack, but feedback is not as direct at the meat case.
The customer knows best
Don’t let the media tell you what your customers want. Ask them yourself. That advice from Edd Hendee, Taste of Texas steakhouse manager, could apply in many areas of the economy.
Quality in the price equation
Feeders bid on cattle by penciling out the highest price they can pay and still maintain a shot at profit. Packers need a certain number of cattle harvested through their plants, bought at a particular price, to stay afloat.
Behind the menu price
Farm and ranch freezers are often full of home-raised beef, yet producer families still enjoy the classic steakhouse experience now and again. With a quick scan of the menu and some cowboy math, most producers figure the New York strip list price at a hefty premium to the weekly salebarn reports for beef on the hoof.
