Michigan Cattlemen’s Association covers policy & industry concerns   

Drought or not, the cost of feed is troubling beef producers. 

Michigan Cattlemen’s Association President Dave Girton tells Brownfield feeding cattle with $7 corn is putting on a squeeze.

“In just the matter of a year to year and a half’s time, we’ve doubled—so in my end of it as a farmer/feeder balancing that cost of feed with what I paid for the feeder cattle and making those margins work is by the biggest challenge,” he shares.
