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.

USE PRACTICAL STRATEGIES IN CASE OF AN IRS AUDIT Excessive business deductions by livestock or general farmers, or horse owners--or for that matter, most any other business-- trigger IRS audits. If you are audited in connection with any farming, livestock or horse activity, the IRS will usually start with one tax year and then look back or forward for other years to see the history of losses or profits. SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED FOR NCBA ANNUAL CONVENTION The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) is pleased to announce the line-up of speakers for the 2010 Cattle Industry Convention. IT'S THE PITTS -- GRANDPA'S SADDLE A cowboy's life has always been defined by what he did with his most valued possession... his saddle. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOOTER MCCORMICK -- BE IT RESOLVED...SORT OF Hooter wasn't much on New Year's resolutions.

ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT CHALLENGING FOR PRODUCERS OK, so back to our list of the 100 reasons why climate change, if occurring at all, is natural and not man-made. Part 1 provided reasons 1-50. Here are the remaining 50 facts: BLACK INK -- NO BOUNDARIES In a snow globe, the white flakes drift peacefully on a quiet farmyard. When cattlemen trudge through four-foot snow drifts in 30-mile-per-hour winds and single-digit temperatures to check on a sick calf, it isn't exactly the same picture of serenity. CATTLEMEN'S COLLEGE BRINGS FOCUS ON CONSUMER TO NCBA CONVENTION Daily chores get most of your time and attention. That's what pays the bills, but the state of the industry lies in the bigger picture.

BLACK INK -- MIXED BLESSINGS When you count your blessings, remember to include the ones disguised as challenges. Some of them you decided to take on as calculated risks; others intruded on your farm or in your life, but turned out to be “mixed blessings.” RED ANGUS AGE AND SOURCE CERTIFICATES ACCESSIBLE ONLINE Proper genetic, age and source verification is imperative for Red Angus cattle enrolled in the Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) to continue through the marketing channels.
