#AngusCon23 is all about #innovation. Taking the big stage is Mark McCully talking about how to start with the end in mind and the innovations the Angus family have built and will continue to shape in the future. @AngusAssoc

USDA AMS is working to update resources to grade beef carcasses, including those with Abundant (Prime+) marbling scores.
Technology is also being leveraged to explore implementation of remote grading in small harvest plants.
Bucky Gwartney, @USDA_AMS, joins our Feeding Quality Forum this afternoon with the latest trends in carcass grading and the technology being developed to withstand new challenges.
At Darr Feedlot, John Schroeder explains their goal is high-quality protein produced at an affordable cost.
This requires stewardship of how we care for these cattle every day.

Land stewardship involves working with nature, managing soil health with grazing livestock, which is where much of the Noble Research Institute work is focused.

The 2023 Feeding Quality Forum kicks off this afternoon in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Stay tuned for highlights from 2 days of discussions on market insights, packer perspectives and stewardship updates.
As fed cattle carcass weights increase into October, quality grades may decline, but Labor Day demand should lead to favorable price spreads.

The fed cattle market remains strong, with northern feedlots receiving $188/cwt. last week, a $2/cwt. increase. Texas and Kansas feedlots also saw a $2/cwt. boost, reaching an average of $180/cwt.
As we entered July, the beef industry experienced lower demand due to summer travel and lighter meals. Cutout values are expected to stabilize soon. Carcass weights found their bottom in Q2, with the Prime grade showing improvement.
