The U.S. Stocker Industry plays a crucial yet often misunderstood role in the beef sector. It involves diverse production systems for raising cattle through grazing and forage utilization, helping to manage supply and stabilize market prices. Stockers contribute significantly by allocating feeder cattle over time, enhancing weight and quality, and maintaining economic balance within livestock and feed markets. This overview outlines key functions, regional characteristics, and the essential impact of stocker operations, addressing production efficiency and market dynamics.

  3. Cattle and Beef Markets • Demand • What gets produced • How much gets produced • Who gets it

  4. Cattle and Beef Markets • Marketing System • Moves products from “Gate to Plate” • Time, Place and Form functions • Storage (When) • Transportation (Where) • Processing (What Changes)

  5. Cattle and Beef Markets • Production • How things get produced • What resources are used

  11. What is the Stocker Industry?

  12. The U.S. Stocker Industry • A very important but poorly understood sector of the beef industry • geographically widespread • diverse production systems • hard to measure

  13. Characteristics of Stocker Production • Animal Growth (versus fattening) • Use of Forages (versus concentrates) • Viable Enterprise • Time Required

  14. Regional Share of Feeder SuppliesOutside of Feedlots, Jan. 1, 2002

  15. Southern Plains Feeder Share

  16. Diversity of Stocker Production • Grazing • Summer • Season Long/Early Intensive • Native Range/Tame Pasture • Crop Aftermath • Winter • Annual Cool Season • Perennial Cool Season

  17. Diversity of Stocker Production • Semi-confinement • Put and Take • Creep Feeding • Dry Winter • Confinement • Harvested Forages

  18. Regional Stocker Cattle Production Fall Scattered Mixed Summer Winter

  21. Regional Stocker Ratio, January 1, 2002

  22. Unique Role of Winter Stockers • Fall demand for wheat stockers helps offset seasonally large fall marketings of calves • Helps stabilize seasonal price patterns

  23. Seasonal Price Pattern

  24. What is the “Job” of the Stocker Industry? • Stocker gains are the cheapest beef cattle gains • Beef industry flexibility • Feed industry balance • Quality Improvement

  25. The Production Role of Stockers • Utilize forages for cheap gain • Increase feeder cattle weight/age • Upgrade cattle quality

  26. The Inventory Role of Stockers • Allocate feeder cattle supplies over time • seasonally • year-to-year • Provide variation in cattle slaughter age

  27. Size of the Stocker Industry • On January 1, Stockers = 20% of cattle inventories • On July 1, Stockers = 8% of cattle inventories

  28. U.S. Average Stocker Ratio,January 1, 2002

  29. The Market-Balance Role of Stockers • Maintain economic balance between livestock, grain and forage markets • respond to economic shocks

  30. The Stocker Industry Is The Beef Industry “Shock Absorber”

  31. How Does The Stocker Industry Accomplish All These Things?

  32. Stocker Economics: Price Levels and Price Spreads • Profit potential of stocker enterprise is determined buy/sell spreads • High prices = Large price spreads • Low prices = Small price spreads

  33. Feeder and Fed Steer Prices,1992-2001

  34. Value of Stocker GainMarch 1998 • 400-500 lb. steer price = $104.45 • Beginning value = $470.03/head • 700-800 lb. steer price = $75.81 • Ending value = $568.58 • Value of 300 lbs. gain = $98.55/head or $0.328/pound

  35. Value of Stocker GainJuly 1998 • 400-500 lb. steer price = $77.98 • Beginning value = $350.91/head • 700-800 lb. steer price = $70.01 • Ending value = $525.08 • Value of 300 lbs. gain = $174.17/head or $0.581/pound

  36. Sources of Profitability in the Stocker Industry • Selling Feed • Returns to forage • Management Services • Upgrading cattle quality • Speculation • Holding cattle over time

  37. The Stocker Industry Dilemma • When prices are rising: • Buy/Sell margins widen • Trend is positive • When prices are falling: • Buy/Sell margins narrow • Trend is negative

  38. Value of Gain(Based on 200 lbs of Gain)

  39. Stocker Industry Adjustments • Change beginning weight • Intensity (rate of gain) • Length of time • Animal quality • Steers versus heifers

  40. Steer Price/Weight Relationship:Cyclical Effects

  41. Steer Price/Weight Relationship:Seasonal Effects

  42. Stocker Budget Breakdown

  43. Stocker Breakeven Dynamics

  44. Stocker Price and BreakevenOver Time

  45. Major Factors Affecting Stocker Profitability • Purchase Price • Time • Feed Cost • Animal Performance

  46. Summary • Stocker industry plays a vital role in the cattle industry • Southern Plains winter wheat pasture grazing plays a unique role
