Book Description
Price determination for feeder cattle is complex because many factors (and their interactions) impact feeder cattle markets. Further, feeder cattle price differentials associated with feeder cattle weight vary as economic conditions change over time. By collecting market price data from 2011 through 2013 for a series of feeder cattle auctions at a livestock exchange in upstate New York and futures price data on finished cattle and feed inputs, the effects of various market conditions, lot characteristics, quality attributes, and auction characteristics on local feeder cattle prices are identified. Feeder cattle prices are found to vary importantly by the levels and volatilities in fed cattle and corn futures prices, sex of the animal, and month of sale. Results also reveal significant premiums for feeder cattle based on certain breed, heavy muscling, and preconditioning, while buyers discount for bulls, horns, smaller frame size, light muscling, and unthrifty cattle. The values of these premiums and discounts vary as cattle grow. Larger uniform lots, the number of buyers, and earlier sale time within an auction are also associated with higher prices on average. The values of these price changes are important as producers compare these values with the costs associated with management practices that address them.

Book Description
Value-added management at the cow-calf level is integrated across breeding, health and nutrition programs. Hedonic pricing models are necessary to navigate through the layered management standards imposed by certified health and marketing programs on the cow-calf sector. Previous research in feeder calf pricing models provides insight on the use and development of ordinary least squares in estimating price effects. Breed, vaccination program, age-and-source verification and natural-beef production have become more relevant as vertical coordination has influenced commercial cow-calf producers. This study provides the industry with new information pertaining to the revenue opportunities that exist for cow-calf producers through increased coordination in the beef industry. Video and satellite auction markets are recognized as a national pricing mechanism for feeder cattle in the United States. These markets represent the management and marketing practices of national cow-calf producers and the tastes and preferences of a national stocker and feedlot industry. Previous research in feeder cattle pricing models is applied to the current genetic, management, marketing and market structure information from video auction markets to discover relevant price effects pertaining to value-added calf production. More intensive value-added management practices were expected to enhance the revenue of cow-calf producers selling their calves through video auction markets. This research confirms that verified health and genetic claims produce higher calf prices compared to commodity calves. Weaned calves with at least two rounds of respiratory vaccinations generated an additional $5.50 to $7.50 per cwt., and weaning created $2.75 to $4.50 per cwt. in premiums over non-certified health programs. There were statistical differences among the premiums for each aggregated breed influence, and Angus and black and black-white faced cattle offered the highest breed premiums at $5.25 to $7.50 per cwt. compared to Brahman-influenced calves. Age-and-source verification presents the best opportunity for video auction market premiums among recently developed marketing programs. Statistically significant premiums ranged from $1.25 to $2.00 per cwt. for both steers and heifers over the last five years.
