Beef | Beef-on-Dairy Explored at Milk Business Conference This November

With razor-thin margins in the dairy market, U.S. dairy producers are rapidly embracing beef-on-dairy breeding programs to add profit to their bottom line. Leading economists, like Dan Basse of AgResource Company, say this hot beef demand will continue for at least four years.

“Our problem is as we model out the beef herd, we do not see models for expansions today as we keep back some cows. But the beef herd has a long way to go,” Basse stated on a recent U.S. Farm Report live taping at World Dairy Expo. “So, if I think about it, this is three to four years at a minimum. We are still retaining heifers to a big degree, that doesn’t allow us to really accelerate beef production anytime soon.”

The 2023 Milk Business Conference has an amazing line-up of speakers that will address many of the challenges that dairy producers face every single day. As well as opportunities that producers should consider exploring, such as beef-on-dairy. This panel will address how dairy producers can make even more money with beef-on-dairy at Milk Business Conference including Bob Sato with Friona Industries, Josh White with the National Cattlemen’s Association and Denton Ross, owner of the Arizona Dairy Company.

With risk comes reward, and to continue being a part of the 2% of dairy farmers that feed the world, we need you all to continue being bold with your decision-making to move your dairy forward. This is not easy, as the challenges that you all face are real and never-ending. From inflation that has impacted every corner of your dairy operation to labor challenges, ongoing government regulations, as well as changing consumer demands—the challenges are big.

The opportunity to attend the Milk Business Conference and network with fellow dairy producers and industry professionals is huge and quickly approaching. Held at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas Nov. 28 – 30, the Milk Business Conference is like no other dairy conference.

Take note, the discounted hotel room block at Caesar’s Palace expires on Mon., Nov. 6, 2023.
