SWICATTLEFEEDERS utilizes a wide range of marketing avenues. Each pen exhibits different carcass characteristics. Based on evaluation, your cattle may be marketed into grids that reward Certified Angus Beef, prime, choice, yield grade, and yield. Our premiums above cash market place us in the top twenty-five percent for premiums paid at Farmland National Beef in Dodge City, Kansas, IBP in Denison, Iowa, and Greater Omaha Pack.
We are currently averaging $6 to $8 per hundred weight over cash on black-hided cattle, many of which (2-400 per week) are marketed through National Beef's Nature Well Certified Cattle program. To qualify, carcasses need to yield 63% and 70% need to grade choice. Typically, our live bids run $1.75 over market.
To help out with out-of-pocket expenses, we do offer financing on all feed costs, as well as a percentage of purchase cost (Depending on weight and quality of cattle.)
At SWICATTLEFEEDERS, we believe partnerships can enhance the profit picture for our customers. We have a large number of corn producers who feed cattle to increase the value of their corn. It is our goal to bring reputation calves into a partnership with corn producers so we can all share the risks and rewards of growing, feeding, and marketing cattle long term. To do this, we must strive to improve genetics, feed utilization, and management to the highest possible level.
