Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By the late nineteenth century, Americans rich and poor had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale, localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the country, with cattle bred on ranches in the rural West, slaughtered in Chicago, and consumed in the nation's rapidly growing cities. Red Meat Republic tells the remarkable story of the violent conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs"--

Download or read book Economic Impact of Alternative Growth Promotant Strategies on the United States Beef Industry written by R. Lynn Williams and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bulletin analyzes economic impacts of alternative growth promotant strategies on the United States (U.S.) beef industry at the cow/calf, stocker, feedlot, wholesale, and retail levels. Production scenarios included implanting at each production level, never implanting, implanting at the cow / calf level only, implanting at the cow / calf and stocker levels, implanting at the feedlot level only, and implanting at the stocker and feedlot levels. The production scenarios were evaluated for the same number of days on feed and feeding to the same slaughter weight. Estimates of the physical effects of alternative implant strategies were obtained by use of the Beef Cattle Growth Model developed at Texas A&M University. Information developed by the model included live, carcass, and retail product weights, carcass fat percentages, feed consumed, and estimated U.S. yield and quality grades by alternative implant scenarios. The study also provides estimates of changes in net returns to producers and cattle feeders and in wholesale and retail gross revenues as implant strategies undergo change.

Download or read book Changes in the Sheep Industry in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-10-26 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. sheep industry is complex, multifaceted, and rooted in history and tradition. The dominant feature of sheep production in the United States, and, thus, the focus of much producer and policy concern, has been the steady decline in sheep and lamb inventories since the mid-1940s. Although often described as "an industry in decline," this report concludes that a better description of the current U.S. sheep industry is "an industry in transition."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beef markets in the U.S. are rapidly changing as alternative production systems and technologies evolve in response to consumer demands and compete with conventional grain-fed beef production. Beef produced through distinguishable systems results in products with different marketable attributes that may attract price premiums, for ex., claims relating to input and other resource use, environental impacts, animal welfare, slaughter/processing infrastructure and efficiencies, and providing continuous supplies of safe products. Markets are rapidly changing as consumers demand various combinations of these attributes in their beef products and as science and consumer knowledge converge. This report explores the market outlook implications of these changes by examining the specific production technologies behind alternative production systems and products. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Download or read book Essays on Weather Changes and U.S. Cattle Industry written by Buddhika Patalee Mallika Appuhamilage and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. cattle sector is the largest agricultural industry with the world's largest fed-cattle industry. Cattle production is highly specialized with cow-calf operations that graze pastureland and feedlot operations that focus on feeding grain-based diets to finish cattle for slaughter. Weather changes, forage availability, economies of size, and production practices create unique challenges across cow-calf production regions. Weather changes, in particular, can alter livestock production. In response, producers may adapt their production practices to changing natural and policy environments. This dissertation contains two chapters providing insights into how weather changes impact the cow-calf industry in the United States. Essay 1 examines the weather impacts on location and production of the cow-calf sector between 1992 and 2017. Econometric models are estimated using county-level agricultural data from the Census of Agriculture-United States Department of Agriculture of 25 states. The selected sample of states held more than 88% of the national beef cow inventories. Key explanatory variables in this study are county-level seasonal average temperature and total precipitation from PRISM daily climate data. Results demonstrate that seasonal temperatures and total seasonal precipitation significantly impact county-level beef cow inventories and operational locations. Essay 2 evaluates the impact of long-term weather changes on the cow-calf production decision using a dynamic panel estimator. By exploiting seasonal weather changes and using 67 years of state-level beef cow inventories, the study estimates the impact of seasonal weather on the U.S. cow-calf industry across 25 major cow-calf producing states. Results suggest that the U.S. cow-calf industry is indeed sensitive to weather. The results of an out-of-sample prediction assessment further suggest that adding seasonal weather information improves the prediction ability of state-level beef cow inventories.

This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Download or read book CAFO written by Daniel Imhoff and published by Earth Aware Editions. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CAFO provides an unprecedented view of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations where an increasing percentage of the world’s meat, milk, eggs, and fish are produced. As the photos and essays in this powerful book demonstrate, the rise of the CAFO industry has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. Industrial livestock production is now a leading source of climate changing emissions, a source of water pollution, and a significant contributor to diet-related diseases, and the spread of food-borne illnesses. The intensive concentrations of animals in such crammed and filthy conditions dependent on antibiotic medicines and steady streams of subsidized industrial feeds poses serious moral and ethical considerations for all of us. CAFO takes readers on a behind-the-scenes journey into the alarming world of animal factory farming and offers a compelling vision for a food system that is humane, sound for farmers and communities, and safer for both consumers and the environment.

Download or read book Dynamic Adjustment in Vertically Linked Markets written by Brian L. Buhr and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This duality model is used to investigate the dynamic structure of vertically linked sectors of the U.S. beef industry. The model employed allows for explicit hypothesis tests of the adjustment process and technology change. Vertically related sectors of the beef industry are included to emulate the organizational structure of the industry. Results suggest that the cow-calf, feedlot, and beef processing sectors of the U.S. industry face significant adjustment costs. Another important finding is that imports may provide a way for the U.S. beef industry to adjust to short-run market changes.
