Abstract

With production costs increasing and calf prices remaining fairly stable, cow-calf producers are searching for ways to add value to calves and make their operations more profi table. While individual producers can not infl uence average market prices, they can control some of the price variation at auctions and other market outlets by following sound market-management practices. It is very important to market the types of calves buyers demand. Successful producers develop management and marketing strategies that will ensure premiums for their calf crop.
