Value of Single Source and Backgrounded Cattle as Measured by Health and Feedlot Profitability [PDF]
Commingling cattle in the feedlot increases the odds of cattle getting sick. However, backgrounded cattle are less susceptible to diseases which allow the generalizing statements like "backgrounding is just like single source".

Size‐based regulation and water quality: Evidence from the Iowa hog industry
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 829-855, May 2026.Abstract The growing prevalence of animal feeding operations (AFOs) in the United States raises concerns among the public and regulators about their impact on local environmental quality. By linking historical regulatory records of AFOs in Iowa to downstream surface water pollution monitors, this paper studies the effects of the 2003 Clean Water Act ...

EFFECTS OF JOINT PRODUCT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON E.COLI 0157:H7 AND FEEDLOT PROFITS [PDF]
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 on feedlot profits. Fecal samples from 711 feedlot pens in 73 feedlots in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were tested for E. coli 0157:H7.

Genetic Parameters for Novel Feedlot Profitability‐Related Traits in Nelore Cattle
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 411-421, May 2026.ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for accumulated profitability (AFP) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT), and their relationships with weight at 450 days of age (W450), scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365), age at first calving (AFC), probability of precocious calving at 30 ...

Factor Price Disparity in the Feeder Cattle Market and Retained Ownership Decision Making: An Application of Farm-Level Feed-Out Data [PDF]
This study uses farm-level data from a university feed-out program to evaluate how the value of feeder cattle ultimately realized through finishing and grid pricing differs from their market value at public auction.

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Scrotal circumference (SC) is a key reproductive indicator in beef cattle and an important predictor of male puberty and correlated female fertility. In this study, we evaluated young Nellore bulls raised under combinations of pasture and feedlot environments and modeled SC using a “double” reaction norm model. Additive genetic variance for SC

Factors Influencing the Extent of Grid Pricing of Fed Cattle [PDF]
Motives for grid pricing of fed cattle have been identified in previous research. Also, estimates of grid pricing exist from feedlot surveys and data generated via mandatory price reports since 2001. However, no research has attempted to estimate factors
