Henning said as much, saying
that producers may want to consid
er treating beef production as a
full-time operation.
Also discussions were held
about the possibility of more con
tract farming to take place.
Silverberg said that his com
pany does do some contract pro
duction, but he said that it is done
on a case-by-case basis. However,
he said that the company works
with enough risk and isn’t in a pos
ition to eliminate all producer risk.
Silverberg said there is a grow
ing market for Holstein steers, but

world demand for beef.

sands of millions of people who eat

not for export. He said that because
of the boxed beef industry and
further refinement of certain cuts,
the identity of the original animal
breed is not as important for the
domestic market.
The other speaker was Logan
McClelland, a cattle feeder from
Nebraska and president of the
Nebraska Cattlemen’s Associa
tion, it is very important to know
the production costs in order to
determine profitability.
“As cattle feeders we tend to
focus on the price that we’re
receiving from packers as the
determinant of whether we’re
going to make money,” McClel
land said. “As businessmen, it is
imperative that we focus on our
production costs those factors
which we can control to deter
mine cattle feeding profits.”
There are to be more such for
ums in the future, though no spe
cifics are yet determined.
