Oklahoma cow-calf producers face critical decisions

Oklahoma State University’s Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is recommending that cow-calf producers plan now for the next two-to-four months, regardless of whether the producer has a spring- or fall-calving herd.

“Recent revisions to cattle data, weather conditions that can greatly affect production costs and various potential market effects underscore the importance of making sound decisions when it comes to driving a cattle operation to profit,” said Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension livestock marketing specialist.
