Weekly Slaughter:Cattle slaughter was 2% higher this week, estimated at 576,000 head for the week, but still over 5% below last year, year-to-date. Hog slaughter was down 4% from last week at 2.38 million head and that's down about 3% year-to-date. April Cattle on Feed:On feed inventory came in about 1.6% below year-ago, which was close to pre-report expectations. March marketings were 1% higher than March of 2024. March placements were up 5% from 2024, which was on the upper end of pre-report estimates.

On this episode of Weekly Livestock Market Update, Brownfield's Meghan Grebner talks with Mississippi State University ag economist Josh Maples about cattle on feed, livestock slaughter, and the reinstatement of an important USDA cattle report.Market highlights:Live steer prices ended the week at 209.15/cwt for the 5-market average which was up $3.85 from a week ago. The April live cattle futures contract was up $4.05 from a week ago to $207.23/cwt, and the April feeder cattle futures price was up 4.50 per cwt on the week to $285.70. Choice box beef was at $325.52 at the end of this week, which is up $5.95 from last week. Cash hogs were down 19 cents to $87.07/cwt. February lean hog futures were down 58 cents to $86.05/cwt on the week. The pork cutout value was down 77 cents from a week ago, to $96.24/cwt this week. Weekly Slaughter:At the end of the week, cattle slaughter was 560,000 head, down 4 percent or 24,000 head from last week, and down 33,000 head from the same week last year. Hog slaughter was 2.428 million head, down 3 percent or 81,000 from the previous week and down 93,000 head (4 percent) compared to year ago. Cattle on Feed:The February Cattle on Feed report was released on Friday and showed lower numbers across the board. The total inventory of cattle on feed in feedlots with 1,000 or more head capacity on March 1 was estimated at 11.6 million head. This was down 2% from compared to March 1, 2024. Placements during February dropped sharply, down 18 percent from February 2024. Fed cattle marketed during February totaled 1.6 million head. This was 9 percent below February 2024. Placements were lower in every reported state except for Washington. The largest year-over-year decline in placements occurred in Kansas (100,000 head fewer or down 22 percent), Texas (95,000 head fewer or down 27 percent), and Nebraska (65,000 head fewer or down 13 percent). The decline in placements was not unexpected. Pre-report estimates showed an expectation of a 15 percent decline. While the number of cattle available to place is certainly part of the story, the winter storms in 2024 caused irregular placement shifts last year which contributes to the year-over-year comparisons to being so large. There was also an extra day in February 2024 due to the leap year. Livestock Slaughter:The monthly Livestock Slaughter report was released by USDA-NASS on Thursday. The report showed February cattle slaughter totaled 2.3 million head which was 11 percent lower than in February 2024. Cattle weights were again a key point in this report and the average live weight was up to 1,432 pounds which is 48 pounds above a year ago. The report showed February hog slaughter totaled 10.2 million head which was 7 percent lower than in February 2024. The average hog weight was up 1 pound from February 2024. The return of the July Cattle Inventory Report:Josh and Meghan talk about the importance of USDA's announcement that the July Cattle Inventory and County Estimate reports would return.

In this episode, Jeff and Becky kick off a month-long series on the habitat crisis, made possible by the Minnesota Honey Producers Association, with special guest Dr. Gabriela Quinlan, an integrative ecologist focused on honey bee and pollinator nutrition. Gabriela shares her expertise on how habitat quality impacts bee health, emphasizing the importance of diverse forage and the role of soils in supporting strong pollinator populations. She also dives into insights gathered from the USDA NASS database, revealing how changes in land use, herbicide application, and climate shifts have contributed to the decline in honey production over the past several decades. Gabriela's passion for pollinator health shines through as she discusses her research on the benefits of natural honey versus artificial feeds for overwintering colonies and introduces listeners to the innovative BEESCAPE tool for analyzing local forage availability. Tune in for an informative conversation filled with actionable insights on how beekeepers, landowners, and nature enthusiasts can help improve pollinator habitats.

These reports provide critical data and the decision to end them is completely misguided. NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane said “It is disingenuous for the same agency which touts its commitment to transparency in livestock markets to arbitrarily cease publication of reports which provide just that. While it may be politically expedient to blame appropriators in Congress for today's decision, cattle producers know better than to believe discontinuing a handful of reports will result in substantial cost savings for the Department.” He went on to say that “NCBA calls on USDA-NASS to immediately reverse this decision and continue delivering on its stated mission of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture.” For the complete article click HERE UPCOMING BULL SALES ANGUS CHAROLAIS HEREFORD GELBVIEH BALANCER RED ANGUS SIMMENTAL SIMANGUS Montgomery Ranch: April 13, 2024, Carrington, North Dakota Jorgensen Farms: April 15, 2024, Ideal, South Dakota DLCC Ranch: April 20, 2024, Pierz, Minnesota BULL SALE REPORT & RESULTS Churchill Cattle Company Van Newkirk Herefords Gardiner Angus Ranch Cow Camp Ranch Jungels Shorthorn Farms Ellingson Angus Edgar Brothers Angus Schaff Angus Valley Prairie Hills Gelbvieh Clear Springs Cattle Company CK Cattle Mrnak Hereford Ranch Frey Angus Ranch Hoffmann Angus Farms Topp Herefords River Creek Farms Upstream Ranch Gustin's Diamond D Gelbvieh Schiefelbein Farms Wasem Red Angus Raven Angus Krebs Ranch Yon Family Farms Chestnut Angus Eichacker Simmentals & JK Angus Windy Creek Cattle Company Pedersen Broken Heart Ranch Mar Mac Farms Warner Beef Genetics Arda Farms & Freeway Angus Leland Red Angus & Koester Red Angus Fast - Dohrmann - Strommen RBM Livestock Weber Land & Cattle Sundsbak Farms Hidden Angus Wheatland Cattle Company Miller Angus Farms L 83 Ranch U2 Ranch Vollmer Angus Ranch A & B Cattle Carter Angus Farms FEATURING Cody Jorgensen Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Lane Giess DLCC Ranch https://www.dlccranch.com/ @DLCCRanch Kirk Donsbach: Stone X Financial https://www.stonex.com/ @StoneXGroupInc Mark Van Zee Livestock Market, Equine Market, Auction Time https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ @LivestockMkt @EquineMkt @AuctionTime Shaye Koester Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ @cattleconvos Questions & Concerns From The Field?

From drones scouting fields to real-time data-driven decisions, the embrace of technology by U.S. agriculture is expanding, with Nebraska at the forefront. A recent USDA-NASS survey shows 77% of Nebraska's farmers and ranchers now integrate computers into their work, a jump from 74% in 2021. Moreover, 85% use smartphones, up by five points in two years. Larry Van Tassell is a professor in Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, and director of UNL's Center for Agricultural Profitability. As a graduate student, he helped survey producers in the 1980s – just as personal computers were beginning to emerge – about their attitudes toward adapting technology to help manage their operations. He dove into the new report, contrasting today's attitudes about tech in ag with the skepticism he found among producers 30 to 40 years ago, in a new article on our website, cap.unl.edu. He's here to talk more about the survey, how the perception of using technology in agriculture has evolved, and the important role it plays in today's decision-making environment.
