As of January, 2010 there were 13.3 million cattle in Texas. There were approximately 145,000 Texas cattle producers accounting for 5.1 million beef cows and over 6 million stocker calves operating under widely varying environments and production systems across the state. There were close to 3 million cattle on feed in Texas feedlots on any given day, and packing plants in Texas with processing capacity of approximately 7 million cattle annually. Nationwide, Texas ranks first for numbers of total cattle and calves, beef cows, beef cattle operations, and fed cattle marketed. Texas produces approximately 30% of the beef consumed in the United States. Cash receipts for cattle and calves in Texas for 2010 were $7.4 billion.Item 2017-2021 Texas Show Steer Breed Classification Guidelines(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) Cleere, Jason; Shackelford, Wade; Osbourn, JamieClassifying the breed of a show steer in Texas used to be easy. Only three British breeds were shown. Crossbreeding among them was rare and easily recognized, and only Brahman crosses were shown in Texas. Today, there are as many as 17 breeds and breed-cross classes in Texas shows, among about 75 breeds of cattle in the United States that could ontribute to the genetic makeup of a steerItem 2020 across-breed EPD adjustments(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)The table below contains adjustment factors to compare EPDs of individuals of different breeds, based on studies by the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska. Adjustment factors have been calculated by MARC since 1993. These adjustments are different from the last report in 2017, some by a notable amount. Adjustments were updated using EPDs from the most recent national cattle evaluations conducted by eighteen breed associations (current as of December, 2020). Adjustments for some breeds are not available if they are not in the MARC database. The base for comparison is Angus.Item 2020 breed averages for EPD traits(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)The table below contains averages from breed association websites. In most cases they are of recently born individuals, the best estimate of where a breed stands in 2020. These numbers can be used to determine how individual animals of a breed compare to their current breed average, but not to other breed averages. Most associations publish a chart showing distribution of EPD traits. FItem 2020 sire-breed comparisons for EPD traits(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)The tables below contain comparisons among breeds based on reports by the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska. These estimates apply under conditions similar to those at the Center. Calves at MARC are weaned in the fall so the post-weaning feeding period is over winter. This probably depresses yearling weight of Bos indicus-derivative breeds relative to British and Continental breedsItem Adapted grasses for Texas pastures(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) Dorsett, Donald J.Item Alternatives for Cattle During Drought: Moving Cattle Off the Ranch(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) McCollum, Ted, IIIMoving cattle off the ranch is a possible alternative to holding and feeding or selling on a distressed market. The process of evaluating these alternatives are the same as evaluating whether to purchase feed or sell the cattle. In order to evaluate this alternative, determine the costs of holding the cattle on the ranch and purchasing feed. If moving the cattle to a lease or a confinement program is less costly, then this may be the option to select. Remember that your financial interests are being trusted to another individual if you move cattle away from the ranch. Be sure your interests will be cared for properly at a reasonable cost
