How NElson Livestock uses cattle quest
By analyzing 12-month trends across various weight classes, we identify the times of year that consistently yield premium prices. We then assess market volatility to determine which weight ranges offer the most stability. Factoring in annual input costs, we decide whether to market cattle earlier or later in the year. Once timing and target weight are established, we select the optimal stockyard based on market performance, commission rates, and proximity to our operation.
