Heads up! The registration deadline for Feedlot Forum 2025 is quickly approaching! The Forum will be Jan. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Terrace View Event Center in Sioux Center, and the registration deadline is Jan. 6.
"This year’s Forum will be a double header for those involved in cattle feeding," said Beth Doran, Iowa State University extension beef specialist.
The morning segment features these timely production topics: health and carcass quality of dairy-beef steers, the economics of heavier cattle, and pricing feeder cattle according to genetic merit.
The focus in the afternoon is on tools to manage financial risk and market outlook for cattle and grains, she said. because the big unknown is "how high will feeder and fed cattle prices go?"
