Alternative Retained Ownership Strategies for Cow Herds

Abstract

Retaining ownership of calves beyond weaning is a value-added process that provides cow owners opportunities for additional profit. It turns lower value calves and feedstuffs into higher value animals. The accelerating trend toward value-based marketing also provides an opportunity for cow owners to more fully capture their investment in health, nutrition, and genetics. It increases the size of the operation while adding diversification and improves marketing flexibility. Producers considering retained ownership must consider first year cash flow and income tax implications for their operation. Producers must also decide whether to feed their calves at home or in a commercial feedyard.
