Harvested cattle prices are typically categorized into three main methods:1. **Live Price:** This method involves selling cattle at their current weight and condition.2. **Dressed Weight or \u201cIn the Beef\u201d Price:** In this approach, cattle are sold at their dressed weight, which excludes the hide, bones, and other non-muscular tissue.3. **Carcass Grade and Yield or Grid Pricing:** This method assigns a specific grade to each carcass based on its quality and yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl D. Fredsti and Christine M. Fredsti, a cattle producer enterprise, prioritize carcass grade and yield or grid pricing as their marketing strategies. Their feeder cattle are marketed through a custom feeder feedlot to a packer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This is achieved through placement as retained cattle with a Feedlot custom feeder program and direct sale on a hot carcass grid pricing basis to the Packer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CARCASS GRID PRICING BASIS \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The most critical factors that influence the feeder cattle profitability includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The quality and dressing percent of the produced fed cattle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Carcass grid Choice-Select spread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Production and feeding cost differences associated with targeting cattle to a particular price grid or packer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Knowledge about the price\/quality distribution of the cattle and ability to sort cattle to meet the criteria for a particular grid or formula<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          A carcass grid lists a base price for Choice (base) and assorted premiums and discounts. Grid prices, or value-based marketing, refers to pricing cattle on an individual animal basis. Prices differ according to the underlying value of the beef and by-products produced from each animal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
