Master Cattlemen Profitability

Author: Joanna Coles

Planning Unit: Warren County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Livestock & Crop Production

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Simpson, Allen, Warren, and Logan counties hosted the Master Cattlemen Program. Beef cattle operations are economic drivers for local farms and communities with just shy of 60,000 beef cattle represented in this area. The goal of the Master Cattlemen Program is to increase the overall profitability of beef producers through the intensive educational training. 


One year follow up evaluations indicated that many of the participants have implemented practice changes as a direct result of the information presented during  Master Cattlemen. The results of those practice changes have increased profitability by:


·$4,050 by going to a Compressed Calving Season 

·$7,425 by using a Purebred Bull to service their cattle herds

·$5,940 by Artificially Inseminating cows and or heifers

·$11,520 by creep feeding pre-weaned calves

·$2,475 by balancing feed rations

·$19,181.25 by deworming the cattle herd


All producers indicated practice changes and were encouraged that they would implement more changes within the next year.
