Book Description
Tennessee beef industry participants have expressed a growing interest in producing cattle to be harvested locally to capture additional value. This study measures Tennessee cattle producer willingness to supply cattle to a federally inspected slaughter (FIS) facility and a Tennessee branded beef (TBB) program. Data from a 2016 survey of Tennessee beef cattle producers were used to estimate interest in participating in the FIS program and TBB program as well as the live cattle weight that interested producers would supply. Of those who responded, 76.6 percent were interested in participating in the FIS program and 70.5 percent were interested in the TBB program. Interest in the program was influenced by age, income, production practices used, and risk attitudes. The average liveweight of cattle to be supplied to the FIS program was 68,863 pounds per year and 58,597 pounds per year for the TBB program. Liveweight supply was influenced by producer age, animal units, production practices, and perceived barriers. Among producers interested in participating either program, respondents appear to prefer to finish cattle on a combination of grass/grain on their farm.

Book Description
Beef cattle producers are constantly faced with decisions that will affect the profitability of their operations. Marketing avenues, product differentiation, inputs, efficiency of production, and many other factors can impact profitability. This research analyzes two aspects of the beef industry: restaurant preferences for Tennessee Certified Beef (TCB) and cattle producer preferences for horn fly (Haematobia irritans (L.)) resistant (HFR) cattle. Two surveys were developed using the contingent valuation method to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for TCB products and HFR bulls. Previous studies have shown consumer and producer interest for TCB; however, this study of restaurant WTP provides further information on the scope of the market. On average, restaurants are willing to pay 36% and 48% premiums above the base price of generic beef products for TCB ground beef and sirloin steak respectively. On the other hand, research has shown the horn fly is a damaging pest to the beef industry causing decreased weight gains and complications from insecticide resistance. This study of cattle producer WTP for HFR bulls found that producers are interested and willing to pay 59% and 55% premiums above the price of a non-HFR bull in Tennessee and Texas respectively. Results suggest that producers could gain from the incorporation of these two ideas through increased premiums received for TCB products and increased horn fly management efficiency through the purchase of HFR bulls.

Book Description
This study examined the impacts of a beef cattle newsletter, "Beef Cattle Time," on Tennessee beef producers. The purpose of this study was to assess the impacts of "Beef Cattle Time" as perceived by Tennessee beef producers on the utilization, satisfaction, benefit, and future of this newsletter. A self-developed, seventy-six question, survey was mailed to 639 randomly selected Tennessee beef cattle producers. Two hundred seventy six (43%) participants responded. One hundred thirty-four (48.6%) reported reading "Beef Cattle Time" and 142 (51.4%) had never read "Beef Cattle Time." The utilization of "Beef Cattle Time" as a source of information was found to be used less than other sources of information by all respondents. The most popular source was that of cattle and farm magazines. Those beef producers who read "Beef Cattle Time," were quite satisfied with it as a publication, and it was considered to be beneficial to those producers who did read it. Beef cattle producers did want to see "Beef Cattle Time" continue into the future.
