North Carolina is home to approximately one-half million cows which calve every
12 to 14 months, producing 350-400 thousand feeder cattle annually.
Heavier calves are shipped to feedlots while lighter cattle are backgrounded
in this region. Articles in this section deal with the economic impacts of marketing
these cattle through graded feeder cattle sales, on-farm sales, and retained
ownership programs. Historical and statistical data are available also, as well
as budgeting information for use in determining market options. (Adobe pdf format.
