The Jacobson’s were among the very first beef herds in the sand hills to take advantage of AI, and have continued to utilize AI in their cowherd since the early 60’s. These heifers are good made, deep ribbed replacement females that are feminine with that all important “Angus look” that only comes from decades of continuous Angus breeding.
The value of top-end genetics, from the mouth of a cattle feeder… A few months ago, I asked Five Rivers’ feedyard managers to quantify the performance of the top 10% to 15% of the genetics they feed. We put the numbers together and compared them to our average cattle performance. Both sets of numbers below are for yearling steers placed at 750 to 800-lbs.
• •
ADG Average Performers 3.40 lbs. Top 10%-15% Performers - 4.75 lbs.
Dry Feed 6.00 lbs. 5.25 lbs.
Gain Grid +$20 +$85
Source: Five Rivers Cattle Feeding
At current market prices and production costs, the value of this better feeding performance is equivalent a whopping $154 per head. There is an additional $65 per head difference in grid value. The total economic advantage for the top performing cattle is +$219 per head. Let me repeat this: the best cattle we feed outperform the average animal by $219 per head. Astounding! The leading edge of the U.S. beef industry’s genetics is now able to create dramatically more value than we could have dared to dream about in the past. This is a game changer. First, it illustrates what is possible today with the best of the best genetics. Secondly, it says we can now pay much higher prices for feeder cattle and calves that are known to create exceptional value in the feedyard and packing plant. That is exactly what is starting to happen
in the marketplace. Larger and larger premiums are being paid for top-end genetics at all levels in the system.
