  • 2025 Georgia Beef Cattle Forecast
    Posted by William Secor on Jan 21, 2025
    1. The 2025 outlook for the beef cattle sector is positive with low supplies meeting high demand to create elevated prices. 2. In the near term, the higher risk appears to be beef demand—because of likely high beef prices and ample animal protein competition in the year ahead. 3. Herd rebuilding indicators should be watched carefully as the cattle cycle may be approaching its next low in 2025.
  • Dealing with Pasture, Hay, Feed, and Livestock Losses After Significant Weather Events
    Posted by Dennis Hancock, Lawton Stewart, Jennifer Tucker on Oct 3, 2024
    As a result of significant weather events, many producers in Georgia may experience losses of pasture growth, hay stocks, feed supplies, and livestock. After such events occur, farmers will be assessing damage to fields, stock, and property for many days, weeks, months. This publication is intended to provide recommendations to farmers that have experienced adverse affects due to significant weather in their forage and livestock production systems.

Producers can use this information to make genetic changes in their herd to better the marketability of their calves. However, before this information can be utilized, producers must understand what these terms mean. The terminology might be slightly different on various reports, but the common ones used for herd improvements are discussed below.
