  1. Industry Issues and the Future of the Beef Industry Derrell S. Peel Breedlove Professor of Agribusiness and Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist

  2. Outline • Introduction • Beef Industry Complexity • Change Drivers Affecting the U.S. Beef Industry • Issues in the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Thoughts about the Future

  3. "The U.S. beef industry is making the most significant changes in industry history"

  4. The U.S. Beef Industry is an Immensely Complex Market !

  5. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets

  6. Beef Production and Marketing System

  7. Beef Demand • There is no such thing as a single beef demand • Beef demand is a complex set of multiple markets and many different products

  8. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly

  9. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion

  15. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion • Biological Influence

  16. Biological Influence • Long time lags in production add much dynamics to cattle markets • Gestation, suckling, growing phase, feeding phase • Heifer development • 2-3 year delays to increase production • Heifer breeding versus feeding implies a one to one tradeoff in current production versus future productive capacity

  17. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion • Biological Influence • Variable Production Systems

  18. Variable Production Systems • Beef cattle have the ability to economically utilize a wide variety of feed resources and change the intensity of beef production • This unique production/marketing interaction means that market conditions not only signal changes in the level of production but also changes in the appropriate production system to be utilized • Production changes are used to change market timing up to one year

  19. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion • Biological Influence • Variable Production Systems • Seasonality of Production and Consumption

  21. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion • Biological Influence • Variable Production Systems • Seasonality of Production and Consumption • Dairy Sector Impacts

  22. Many Factors Make the Beef Industry Complex: • Multiple Production and Marketing Sectors • Diverse Final Markets • Perishable Products • Joint Production/Disassembly • Geographical Dispersion • Biological Influence • Variable Production Systems • Seasonality of Production and Consumption • Dairy Sector Impacts

  23. Change Drivers Affecting the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Value-Added Production/Marketing • Food Safety/Quality Assurance • Globalization

  24. Change Drivers Affecting the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Value-Added Production/Marketing

  25. Commodity Beef Markets • Little Product Enhancement • No Targeting of Production/Marketing • “Find What We Need” • Increased Productivity but is Optimization of Subsectors

  26. Data Source: USDA-NASS, Compiled & Analysis by LMIC Livestock Marketing Information Center

  27. Commercial Beef Production Beef Cow Inventory Livestock Marketing Information Center Data Source: USDA-NASS, Compiled & Analysis by LMIC and Derrell Peel 2015-2017 Forecast

  28. The “New” Beef Industry • Less Commodity Oriented • More Valued-Added Products • Optimization of the Entire System

  29. Value-Added Beef Production • Differentiated Products with much Product Augmentation • More Targeted Production/Marketing • Increased Average Quality • Improved Product Mix • More Cost Efficient Production/Marketing

  30. Change Drivers Affecting the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Value-Added Production/Marketing • Food Safety/Quality Assurance

  31. Food Safety/Quality Assurance • Quality assurance is part of value-added production/marketing • Uniform quality • Process/source verification • Food safety will impact production • Changing management systems • BSE • E. coli

  32. Change Drivers Affecting the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Value-Added Production/Marketing • Food Safety/Quality Assurance • Globalization

  33. International Trade Impacts Domestic Demand • Trade impacts quantity and quality of beef products • Trade changes the mix of products in the domestic market

  34. Issues in the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Structural Changes • Animal ID/Traceability • Political/Legal Polarization

  35. Issues in the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Structural Changes • Structural change is a source of concern, fear and frustration for many industry participants • Economic forces will continue to influence industry structure and impact how business is conducted

  36. Percent Change in Pasture Acreage, 2007-2012 -13.1% -3.0% -5.7% -31.0% -1.6% -15.9% -15.1% -1.1% -4.9% -23.6% +0.2% -21.2% -16.6% -5.6% -14.8% -3.8% -20.0% -22.7% -2.4% +2.6% -2.6% -7.2% -11.5% -18.9% -3.2% -9.6% -4.4% -9.9% +0.30% -1.4% +0.2% -20.8% -23.5% -19.0% -9.7% -1.4% -8.7% U.S. Ave., -3.6 % +5.8%

  40. Issues in the U.S. Beef Cattle Industry • Structural Changes • Animal ID/Traceability

  41. Implications of a Traceable Cattle and Beef System • Animal health and food safety • Regulatory system • Market Demands • Food quality and quality assurance • Process verification • Source verification • Management Value • Major producer implications: • Loss of anonymity • Need for market commitment
