Codyfeedlot utilizes a wide range of marketing avenues. Each pen exhibits different carcass characteristics. Based on evaluation, your cattle may be marketed into grids that reward Certified Angus Beef, prime, choice, yield grade, and yield. Our premiums above cash market place us in the top twenty-five percent for premiums paid at Farmland National Beef in Dodge City, Kansas, IBP in Denison,Iowa, and Greater Omaha Pack. We are currently averaging $4 to $8 over cash on Angus cattle, many of which are marketed through U.S. Premium Beef who pays a $14 per cwt. premium for Prime carcasses, $4.50 per cwt.premium for Certified Angus Beef carcasses and a $3 per cwt. premium for Farmland Black Angus Beef carcasses. On our Charlais cross cattle we're averaging $2 to $4 per cwt. over cash. We also can obtain four local cash bids at anytime.
To help out with out-of-pocket expenses, we do offer financing on all feed costs, as well as a percentage of purchase cost (Depending on weight and quality of cattle.)
At Codyfeedlot, we believe partnerships can enhance the profit picture for our customers. We have a large number of corn producers who feed cattle to increase the value of their corn. It is our goal to bring reputation calves into a partnership with corn producers so we can all share the risks and rewards of growing, feeding, and marketing cattle lomg term. To do this, we must strive to improve genetics, feed utilization, and management to the highest possible level.
