Cattle Farming Economics

Evan Thomas once said that “as a farmer, you learn quick, you don't get anything that you don't work hard for.” If farmers were not willing to work harder than anybody in the world we would not be here. Farmers grow all we eat and all we need to survive; if farming was not around Many people would have the jobs they do now. Farming makes all the other jobs in the world almost. There are many things that affect cattle farming and prices in the market such as the prices of grain and food products to feed the cattle, the supply and demand of the cattle market, also if the farmer is doing all the right things to run there cattle operation to make money. How would someone get help to start a cattle farm or cattle business? When people plan on

In a competitive market, supply and demand affect what the prices will be. In a year to year determining factor that would take time to make the price raise would be “Changes in breeding heard, and calf crop.” Factors in the short run would be weather which may become too hot or too cold; and the seasonal production patterns of all cattle (“Economics”). The demand for feeder cattle in the industries in the economic view of mast sectors. For example if the demand for feeder cattle is high then the price will be high, but if the demand is low then the prices will be lower than normal. Is the supple is higher then that will lower the clearing prices; if the supply is lower then it would make the prices higher (“Economics”). Too hot and too cold can affect the supply and demand by making it take longer to get the cattle to slaughter weight. The “Heat stress models the have predicted that by 2040 in the central U.S.A, Cattle could take up to 2.8 to 4.8 days longer, and milk production could be reduced up to 2.9%. Stressed animals also have a weaker immune system (“Agricultures”). Analyses of food safety precautions and data in the beef sector may include retail, farm value and whole sale. The data of all the sectors would show that prices changes and the total of all income of beef (“USDA”). All of this matters in the feeder cattle business because when the farmers are not seeing a good income then there will be less cattle and farmers; if they are seeing a income then there will be more farms and cattle which is both good and bad. There are two separate parts of the cattle procession that are affected separately. One part is the cow-calf production were farmers raise cattle to be sold to feed lots. The second part of the cattle production is the feed lot which buys and raises the cattle out to be slaughtered. Both of these parts are affected by higher grain prices
