In the rapid changing space of sustainability, finding clarity on what to do is challenging. At the 2021 Feeding Quality Forum, Dr. Kim Stackhouse-Lawson offered insights on what can be expected of producers moving forward.
Focus Under the Hide

Demand for Premium Quality Beef High, Supply Showing Improvement
Fourth quarter demand for premium quality grade beef carcasses is predictably high. End users—grocery stores in particular—place orders several weeks ahead of the December timeline to fulfill holiday middle-meat needs. Prime grade carcass supplies have disappointed throughout the year with 11.2% fewer total pounds of Prime carcasses acquired so far.
Tight Cattle Supplies and Increasing Carcass Weights
The current cattle markets can provide a history lesson for those new to the scene. To give a quick recap of that era: record-high prices, fueled by a supply chain starved for cattle numbers, came to an abrupt end. This signaled the end of tight cattle supplies, caused by drought liquidation, and beef cattle producers were able to restock the nation’s cow herd.

I often joke with Justin that the best thing about hiring him was his wife, Julie.

Success Stories
Like father, (not necessarily) like son
Paul moved to Lakeview, Ore., and runs the northern unit. It’s actually his son, Tom, who takes care of its southern sister.
Commitment you recognize
When the Schiefelbeins won the 2012 Seedstock Commitment to Excellence Award I started my day at their family meeting, seeing their teamwork in action.
When Tom met Sally
They drive people, challenge them, at times can cause great stress, but they bring families together and draw their keepers back to the basics of life.
