Tennessee Cattle

at TNcattle.com

The American consumer has demonstrated to us that the safety and quality of the food which they eat is one of their top priorities. As beef producers, it is our responsibility to insure that every animal which leaves our operations has been managed and treated correctly. This will insure that when the animal leaves the farm to go to the next link in the beef production chain it will be a fault free product to put the finishing touches on. If everyone does this, we are taking a huge step towards securing an even brighter future for our industry. One of the primary goals of Tennessee's BQA program is to bring our BQA efforts to the same level of many other states' BQA programs. Why should we care about other states? It's pretty simple. The states that buy higher quality, source verified, Tennessee feeder cattle with a sound health program will be assured that these calves are ready to go. Many of the alliances and branded beef product lines are also demanding these calves. In short, the most progressive beef programs in the country are demanding high quality, properly managed cattle with sound vaccination program. Cattle that are source verified and their producers are BQA Certified will attract buyers because they help insure a higher quality final product...BEEF.   USDA Cattle Reports Tennessee Auction Summary Newspaper Format Athens Cattle Auction (Wed) Crossville Cattle Auction (Mon) Lexington Cattle Auction (Tue) Carthage Livestock Auction (Mon) Tennessee Weekly Auction Summary (Fri) Dickson Cattle Auction (Wed) Huntingdon Cattle Auction (Wed) Somerville Cattle Auction (Wed) Cookeville Cattle Auction (Wed) Knoxville Livestock Center Auction (Thu) Lawrenceburg Cattle Auction (Thu) Sweetwater Cattle Auction (Thu) Savannah Cattle Auction (Thu) Columbia Cattle Auction (Fri) Fayetteville Cattle Auction (Fri) Lebanon Cattle Auction (Fri) Trenton Cattle Auction (Thu) Unionville Cattle Auction (Tue) Greeneville Livestock Auction (Mon) Tennessee Graded Feeder Cattle & Video Board Sales U.S. Direct Slaughter Sow Report Tennessee Sheep & Goat Auctions Tennessee Daily Wtd Avg Report Cattle Today Articles about the production of beef cattle and livestock.

ANGUS TIMELY TOPICS May comes but once each year, but what a marvelous time it is to be engaged in the production of Angus cattle. SALACOA VALLEY COMMITTED TO PROVIDING GENETIC QUALITY During the last twelve to eighteen months southeast cattle producers have endured a tremendous test.

COMMODITY INSIGHT "You cannot lift a bull by the tail." In the futures industry, that hoary old saw simply means if a market is going to stage a bull move it has to be led by nearby prices and not distant prices.
