Hey folks. I hope you all are doing well.

People are asking me about beef prices. Here’s some beef production economics. The picture is a receipt from 4 steers and an open cow we sold recently. Why didn’t I keep the steers to grow and sell for meat? I got a little over $2830 each for the steers that weighed less than 700 lbs each. $4.15/lb! We delivered a steer for processing this morning that had a hanging weight of 624 lbs. just a little lighter than the live steers but we got $4.50/lb for the carcass or $2808. We fed that steer for 90 days to get him ready for processing. He started out the same as the other steers but we had another $300 in feed in him. He netted less than the calves we sold in Ashburn! Do you see our dilemma?

We are still going to feed a few for 2026. We have 3 more on fed now. We are going to try to hold our prices but with the price of calves and feed costs increasing due to fuel costs we don’t know how long before we may need to stop or raise prices to stay sustainable. We have appointments for 2 in May. Reach out if you are interested in a whole, half or quarter of beef
