Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they look into rebuilding the U.S. Cow herd.  Plus, should we keep heifers or sell heifers and consumer demand for beef.  They cover it all on this all new episode of  The Ranch It Up Radio Show.

The USDA is developing a plan to rebuild the nation's historically low beef cattle herd but will not produce direct payments to producers, according to Secretary Brooke Rollins.  Rollins said “We have no current plants to offer any payment to beef producers.  The government getting involved can completely distort the markets.  No plan is even under consideration to insert ourselves through payments into the beef cattle industry.”  Unquote.  Instead, USDA’s strategy will emphasize expanding access to working lands and developing risk-mitigation tools.  Rollins said more details will be released in mid-October.

Justin Tupper, Owner/Operator of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota and President of the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association shares his insight on retaining heifers vs. selling heifers and what producers need to look for in the year(s) to come.
