Cattle and Beef Markets
Surge Higher
By Wes and Sharla Ishmael
You figured it had to be
coming—crossing some
unseen and unknown
threshold from enough
beef supply to supplies limited enough to attract substantially more money—
but the run in beef prices
since the first of the year is
extraordinary.
Since the week before
Christmas, live prices for
cash fed cattle have
increased $12/cwt. from
$141 to $144.40/cwt. the
second week of January.
Dressed
prices
had
increased more than $20.
Choice beef cutout values
increased nearly $30/cwt. in
the same time period.
“The run up in prices
has been attributed to the
possibility that packers had
not lined up enough cattle
ahead of the holidays to
maintain sufficient supplies
of beef to meet the
demand,” reckoned analysts with USDA’s Economic Research Service in
the January Livestock,
Dairy
and
Poultry
Outlook. “Other reasons
included the weather-related disruptions in transporting cattle between feedlots
and packing houses.”
More than anything,
though, it’s simply supply.
As Andrew P. Griffith,
University of Tennessee
agricultural
economist
noted in his weekly market
comments January 17,
“The short supply of beef
that has been discussed for
many months and the run
up in prices that has been
expected has finally come
to fruition. In the past two
weeks, Choice beef prices
have increased $29.48
(cwt.) while Select prices
have increased $31.58. The
oddity is that beef prices
generally struggle immediately following the holiday
season and they have done
nothing but escalate and it
has happened at a maddening pace.”
A week earlier, Griffith
noted, “The large positive
movements in the cutout
prices is quite surprising
considering restaurants
and grocery store business
was sure to slow down during the week due to freezing temperatures. There
was much chatter earlier in
the week how changes
were made to the calculation of the cutout prices,
which essentially increased
the cutout price by $2 compared to the previous week
if no price changes
occurred for particular
meat cuts…. However, the
change in the cutout price
calculation is not what has
caused prices to climb the
mountain.”
All the while, calf and
feeder cattle prices, by and
large, have continued the
upward trek that began last
fall.
Looking Ahead
“Cattle prices were
record-high in 2013 with
tight
supplies
finally
becoming the dominant
market force instead of
drought and surging feedstuff costs taking center
stage,” explained analysts
with the Livestock Marketing Information Center
(LMIC) at the end of
December. “Calendar year
2014 is forecasted to bring
more record highs. But the
lesson of the last two years
is that high prices don’t
always
mean
profits.
Feedlot closeouts gushed
red ink until the last few
months of 2013. Many cowcalf operations recorded
their highest costs ever due
to huge winter feeding
bills.”
The five-area average
fed steer price was more
than $120/cwt. in each
quarter of 2013 and averaged more than $3/cwt.
higher for the year compared to the previous

When El Paso’s Western
Union office received the
telegram at 1 p.m. that
August 19, 1895, it took
young Lewis Hubbard an
hour to find its recipient.
Even at 11, Hubbard
knew the reputation of the
man he now hunted – a
hard-drinking, hard-hearted shootist said to have
slain 42 men before spending 17 years in prison at
Huntsville for killing a
sheriff’s deputy in Comanche County in 1874.
While behind bars, with
nothing but time on his
hands, John Wesley Hardin
read the law. Soon after his
release in 1894, he passed
the bar exam.
For a time, Hardin represented clients in Gonzales. He also married a 15year-old girl and tried to
stay off booze. But the
bloom soon faded from the
rose of romance.
Seeking a fresh start,
Hardin took the train from
San Antonio to mountainflanked El Paso. With plenty of cross-country railroad
traffic, the border town
enjoyed a robust economy.
Beyond that, the City at the
Pass had no shortage of
thriving saloons, gambling
houses and brothels. In
other words, it was a targetrich environment for a man
like Hardin, a fellow equally comfortable standing
before the bar of justice or
leaning again the other
type of bar.
Hubbard found Hardin
inside the Acme Saloon on
El Paso’s once notorious
San Antonio Street about 2
p.m. that summer day.
Hardin had just raised a
glass to his lips when he saw
the boy approaching with a
telegram in his hand.
“He put the glass down
when I came up to him,”
Hubbard recalled years
later. “Evidently he drank
all afternoon that day.”
Hardin may have been
in his cups, but he comported himself like a Southern
gentleman. After the boy
handed him the sealed
envelope containing the
message, the 42-year-old
killer reached into his
pocket and gave Hubbard a
dime. He also offered the
kid a little free guidance:
“Son, don’t ever do
this.”
By “this” Hardin presumably meant hanging
out in saloons, getting
drunk and shooting craps.
It could be inferred that his
admonition also extended
to shooting men.
Hubbard thanked Hardin and went back to work.
In turn, Hardin went back
to drinking. The next time
the messenger boy saw
Hardin, he lay in a coffin on
public display.
That night, bad blood
between Hardin and El
Paso Constable John
Selman, Sr. ended with the
spilling of Hardin’s blood.
Before the semi-reformed
outlaw could get off a shot,
Selman put a bullet
through his head. Just for
good measure, the constable shot him three more
times as he lay on the
saloon floor.
Some contended Selman had back-shot Hardin
as he threw a set of dice and
pronounced, “Four sixes to
beat.” Others said it looked
like Hardin had been going
for his six-shooter and that
Selman shot him in the face
in self defense.
As published by the El
Paso Times, here’s part of
what Selman said:
“About 11 o’clock, I
came into the Acme Saloon
to take a drink with Mr.
Shackelford. Shackelford
said…not to go to getting
drunk. I told him I would
not get drunk for I expected trouble. That Hardin
had said he would make
me…[having to do with a
natural bodily process on
the part of a startled coyote] and if he tried it he’d
have to fight. Immediately
after Shackelford and me
took a drink Hardin threw
his hand on his gun and I
grabbed mine and went to

proaches by the Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension
Ser-vice, collaborating with
Texas A&M AgriLife Research, to marshal the
resources of the A&M
System to address quail
decline.
A recent $2 million
state-funded
initiative reflects
the importance
of quail to the
state of Texas
John Sharp, Chancellor
for Texas A&M University
said, “We appreciate the
support of the state in funding potential solutions to
this critical statewide issue.
Based on our AgriLife
Extension studies, every
time a pickup and dogtrailer pull into a West
Texas community, they’re
worth about $8,500 to the
state’s economy, with about
60 percent of those dollars
going to local coffers.”
According to a recent
study by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, quail are
ranked third behind deer
and dove as the state’s most
popular game species in an
industry that exceeds $1.5
billion annually. AgriLife
Extension studies show
about 65 percent of Texas
hunters come from urban
areas. So dwindling bird
numbers not only threaten
rural economies, but also
reduce hunting opportunities for many urban residents.
“Reversing quail decline in Texas is built
around both education and
research focused on landscape improvements to

Steele, AgriLife Extension
director.
Quail are an important
game species, but they are
one among many other
grassland birds whose populations share the same
downward
population
trend. Investments in quail
research and educational
efforts will benefit quail
while also providing information on a wider range of
game
and
nongame
species.
Dr. Jim Cathey, AgriLife Extension wildlife spe-
cialist and project leader
for the quail decline initiative, has just released a limited call for research proposals to identified quail
researchers across Texas.
The proposals that are
funded are intended to produce results that help better understand the causes
of these population declines and how to provide
remedies. Areas identified
for consideration of funding include impacts of parasites, toxins and even various predators that affect
quail hatches through
maturity, and field work
addressing health factors as

influenced by the environment.
Targeted
work
in
genomics that considers
infectious diseases and parasites is part of the whole
picture, Cathey said. There
is also some need to further
consider bird translocation
for repopulation with monitoring of survival data.
“The quail decline of
bobwhites and scaled or
‘blue’ quail over most of
West and South Texas has
become critical since
2008,” said Dr. Dale
Rollins, state coordinator
for this AgriLife Extension
initiative. “The Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department’s latest quail surveys reported their lowest
counts on record for the
third consecutive year.”
Rollins concedes while
some areas have observed
an uptick in quail numbers
this fall, most are still well
below long-term averages.
Cathey and Rollins are
working closely with the
funding agency, Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department, and within AgriLife Extension to lead and
coordinate both the education and research activities.
This is all in a state where
hunters are the champions
for wildlife, they noted,
explaining that the excise
taxes on firearms and
ammunition, license sales
and
particularly
the
Upland Game Bird Stamp
funds represent direct
investments in the management, research and education aspects of this effort.
AgriLife
Extension
educational programs and
demonstration work are
significant in addressing
current and future quail
populations, Rollins said.
One major demonstration
effort will be the Texas
Quail Index, which he said
empowers landowners and
other stakeholders to better understand local quail
dynamics and how their
land and livestock management affects quail habitat,
both good and bad. In 2014,
AgriLife Extension will
work with landowners via
the agency’s network of
county Extension agents to
expand educational programs such as Quail
Appreciation Days and
Quail Brigades to cover
best management practices
for habitat that foster quail
survival and growth.
Steele is a firm believer
that “good stewardship is
one of the keys to improving quail numbers and the
Texas Quail Index is a great
way for AgriLife Extension
agents to interact with
landowners in gathering
data and assessing how well
quail are doing in local
areas.”
The research,
which will be conducted at
various universities in the
state, is intended to provide
support where the research
capabilities and focus
already exist. Collaboration among all interested
parties can do nothing but
help in an effort to stop the
downward decline of quail
populations, officials said.

Cautious approach recommended to restocking
By Blair Fannin
MILANO – Even though
parts of Texas have
received beneficial rainfall,
experts urge cattle producers to be cautious when
thinking about restocking
herds.
Dr. Larry Redmon, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service state forage
specialist, told beef producers at the recent Central
Texas Cow-Calf Clinic in
Milano that 71 percent of
the state is abnormally dry.
“We are in pretty good
shape here in the Brazos
Valley, but if you look at the
data, about half of the state
is in some type of drought
conditions,” Redmon said.
“This cycle started in 1995.
These cycles last 22 to 25
years and we may not be
out of this dry cycle until
2020. If you do the math,
we’ve still got some potential for dry weather. You
might want to be cautious
about restocking or buying
a bunch of cattle.”
Just like the dipstick to
check the oil in an automobile, a soil test checks to see
what nutrients are present
and which are needed to
grow forages. He advised
producers to have a soil test
taken on their pasture,
especially with the price of
fertilizer.
“We can’t do anything
about the price of fertilizer,
but we can do something
about how efficiently we
use those nutrients,”
Redmon said. “Spend the
$10 to get a soil test.”
Redmon said if you
don’t fertilize Bermuda
grass, it takes almost 20
inches of water to produce
a ton of grass, but if you
properly fertilize you can
cut that amount of water
almost in half.
To protect the grass,
Redmon said you must
control the weeds and
allow sunlight to be captured by the green photosynthetic leaf tissue. For
weed control, producers
have options such as
mechanical control or
using herbicides. Mechanical shredding can cost as
much as $15.24 per acre,
while spraying herbicide is
$11.57 per acre using a 30foot boom sprayer.
Redmon also advised
monitoring winter pastures, urging producers not
to let winter grasses create
a canopy above warm season grasses. As nighttime
temperatures approach 60
degrees, plan on having all
winter pasture removed by
either grazing or harvesting
as hay.
Meanwhile, Dr. Davey
Griffin, AgriLife Extension meat specialist and
professor in the department of animal science at
Texas A&M University,
gave a virtual video tour of
a packing facility. He said
as a result of declines in
beef cattle numbers, Texas
packing plants have “tightened up” on the amount of
meat processed, cutting
back production schedules.
Producers viewed a load
of finished cattle arriving at
the facility and the many
steps to process the carcass
into the numerous cuts that
make their way to consumers.
All carcasses are inspected throughout the process by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food
Safety Inspection Service,
Griffin said. Though the
processing aspect still
requires many laborers on
the floor, it has become a
more mechanized system
since there is such high volume to maintain profitability. After laborers on the

shooting….”
The bartender offered
this version:
“Hardin was standing…with Henry Brown
shaking dice and Mr.
Selman walked in the door
and shot him. E.L.
Shackelford was also in the
saloon at the time….
Hardin was standing with
his back to Mr. Selman. I
did not see him face around
before he fell, or make any
motion. All I saw was that
Mr. Selman came in the
door, said something and
shot, and Hardin fell. Don’t
think Hardin ever spoke."
No matter the circumstances, one of the West’s
most feared gunman was
dead. Outside of family
members, his girlfriend and
a few cronies, the prevailing sentiment could be
summed up in two words:
good riddance.
Even in death, however,
Hardin got in one last lick.
As the local newspaper
reported:
“Undertaker Tom Powell had [Hardin’s] body on
his table cleaning it when a
contraction of the muscles
caused Hardin’s arm to
swing around, landing his
fist in Powell’s back as he
was leaning over the body.
Tom jumped around and
wanted to know who had
struck him. And Tom don’t
deny that he felt a little
shaky….”
Selman did stand trial
for killing Hardin, but the
jury could not reach a verdict. Before his next court
date, while out on bond, he
got into another gunfight.
This time it was with a U.S.
Marshal and Selman lost,
his case permanently adjudicated.

New and growing stock show attractions
The San Antonio Stock
Show & Rodeo Horse
Show will debut a brand
new event at the 2014
Show, a youth rodeo. This
two day, all-youth equine
competition will feature
youth in barrel racing, pole
bending, goat tying, tiedown roping, ribbon roping, breakaway roping, and
team roping. Age groups
will be 8 & under, 9-12, 1315, 16-19. The San Antonio
Stock Show & Rodeo
anticipates this will be a
popular new event with
both youth competitors
and the public.
The Youth Rodeo further strengthens the focus
on youth events in horse
show. The event will feature some of the most exciting events in the horse
world today, including
sports that are highly popular in Texas.
The event has received
much excitement and
praise from the world of
rodeo. This event is a “first
of its kind” and will provide
a forum for talented young
rodeo athletes to showcase
their skills and abilities.
Our two newest family
fair attractions are Wild

sub-primal cuts are vacuum
packed and boxed – a
process virtually automated in the larger plants.
In the video, the boxes
of meat cuts went through
an automated machine that
stacked them onto a pallet,
where they were shrinkwrapped and staged for
truck delivery to retail outlets.
“Literally, no carcasses
leave plants today,” Griffin
said. “They go in a box.
Demand is so high for most
of the product, they’ve
found a home for most of
that product either in our
domestic market or in the
numerous export markets
that favor the uniformity
and flavor of U.S. beef.”
Griffin said packers are
looking to get as much
value out of cuts as possible; putting meat through a
grinder is the least desired
option.

late 2013, resistance to further calf and yearling price
increases will come from
returns for those feeding
cattle. At least into early
2014, all the profit potential
of feeding cattle has been
bid into feeder animal
prices. Further strength in
the fed cattle market and
lower feedstuff costs will be
required to significantly
bid-up feeder cattle prices.
Year-on-year gains in calf
and yearling prices will
likely be the smallest in late
2014. In next year’s fourth
quarter, another good crop
growing year in the
Midwest could put calf and

year’s pace and already
ahead of the 2012 year-end
total of $5.51 billion.
Beef exports accounted
for 14.3% of total U.S. beef
production (muscle cuts
plus variety meat) and 11%
of muscle cuts alone compared to 12% and 9%,
respectively, in November
of 2012.
The beef export value
per head of fed slaughter in
November jumped to
$267.36, an increase of
$51.41 over last year.
In fact, Rabobank analyst Albert Vernooij says,
“The Rabobank Global
Cattle Price Index improved further in the second half of 2013, supported
by both continuing strong
Chinese import growth and
lower-than-expected supply in the main export markets making cattle prices
mainly positive.”
Vernooij noted that the
market has been unable to
reach its full potential due
to consumers’ resistance
against high prices in the
United States and the
European Union, still two
of the main beef markets.
“It would seem consumers will eventually push
back as prices escalate, but
it appears there is much
concern associated with the
availability of beef in
2014,” Griffith explained in
his comments the second
week of January. Beef production will slip significantly when compared to 2013
due to reduced steer and
heifer slaughter as well as
cow slaughter.”

Mission:
Their mission statement
reads: "A volunteer organization that emphasizes
agriculture and education
to develop the youth of
Texas."
History:
In 1854, in an emerging
Texas cattle town, history
was made when one of the
first ever Texas Agricultural Fairs was held in San
Antonio. In the following
years, many other fairs and
expositions came to San
Antonio and all encountered the same problem,
inadequate facilities to
accommodate their needs.
It was evident South Texas
was in dire need of facilities
to serve as a showplace for
a livestock exposition.
This cry for greater
accommodations
was
heard in the early 1940s by
Joe Freeman, the man who
began the movement which
eventually gave birth to the
Joe and Harry Free-man
Coliseum.
Freeman's
prime interests were youth
and the agricultural and

dream was to build a coliseum to be used for a number

rains came during the fall,
starting in September, for
much of the state. In fact,
wet conditions kept some
acres from being planted in
the Blacklands – something
not seen in recent history.
Soils have been fully
recharged for most of East
Texas and enough moisture
has fallen to give consistent

and north to Abilene and
Vernon, Neely said.
“Unfortunately,
the
High Plains received little
of these beneficial rains
and wheat producers struggled to get their crop up
and out of the ground this
fall,” he said. “Droughtstressed wheat also had to
endure frigid temperatures
during the past month,
which have some concerned about the possibility of winterkill on small
wheat.”
Single-digit temperatures
were
common
throughout the Panhandle;
however, cool weather

affected by rising salinity
and other harmful constituents, findings of this
study will aid the groundwater and natural resources managers as well as
general public to understand geographic distribution and relative extent of
of the state’s drinking water
resources and plan for

actions,” Ale said.
Over time, groundwater
salinization across the state
has become more “structured,” with certain regions
showing remarkable consistency in water quality
degradation due to a progressive rise in salinity levels, he said.
“We identified hot spots
of groundwater salinization at shallow depths
across vast regions of West
Texas in the southern

northwestern
Edwards-Trinity and Pecos
Valley aquifers; intermediate and deep depths in the
southern
Gulf
Coast
aquifer; and deep depths in
North Central Texas in the

Groundwater salinization is a complex process
resulting from various natural and human-induced
changes of ambient hydrologic conditions, Chaudhuri said.
“Interestingly, our study
revealed that the causes of

reflected by noticeable

Salinization...
saline plumes and playas,
evaporative enrichment,
hydrocarbon exploration
activities and irrigation
return flows led to groundwater salinization in West
Texas.
In contrast, he said, ionexchange processes in the
North Central Texas and
seawater intrusion coupled
with salt dissolution and
irrigation return flow in the
southern Gulf Coast regions caused groundwater
salinization.
For both time periods,
the
highest
average
groundwater total dissolved solids concentrations in shallow wells were
found in the Ogallala and
Pecos Valley aquifers, and
those in the deep wells
were in the Trinity aquifer,
he said.
In the Ogallala, Pecos
Valley, Seymour and Gulf
Coast aquifers, about 60
percent of the observations
from shallow wells exceeded the secondary maximum
contaminant level for total
dissolved solids in both
time periods, which indicates persistent concern
over potable water quality,
Chaudhuri said.
In the Trinity aquifer, 72
percent of deep water quality observations exceeded
the secondary maximum
contaminant level in the
1990s-2000s, compared to
64 percent observations in
the 1960s-1970s, he said.
In the Ogallala, Edwards-Trinity Plateau and
Edwards Balcones Fault
Zone aquifers, extent of
salinization decreased significantly with well depth,
indicating surficial salinity
sources.
Among all the major
aquifers of Texas investigated in this study, the
Edwards Balcones Fault
Zone aquifer appeared to
have the “best” potable
groundwater quality with
the lowest salinity levels
and concentrations of
major inorganic constituents, Ale said.
A major challenge faced
during the course of this
research was the decreasing number of observations
over the years and a lack of
adequate spatial representation of groundwater
quality data for each
aquifer, he said. It was
therefore necessary to
establish a more intense
and “informed” water
quality monitoring network, especially for regions
that registered long-standing salinity issues.
Ale and Chaudhuri concluded in their study that
management strategies to
address high salinity issues
in the state should be
devised based on detailed
site-specific analysis of factors influencing groundwater hydrochemical evolution supported by more
intensive water quality
monitoring and assessment.
In this regard, both
groundwater and surface
water quality monitoring is
necessary to establish a
detailed water budget and
salt mass balance, they
said. Domestic well owners
should also be encouraged
to monitor water quality at
regular intervals and be
advised about appropriate
well-head
maintenance
and protection strategies.
For agricultural regions,
mainly in the Ogallala,

Gulf Coast aquifers, appropriate irrigation management strategies, based on
local recharge, water-level
changes and evapotranspiration, should be developed based on site-specific
water and nutrient uptake
by the crops and ambient
soil quality.

damage from extreme cold temperatures, however oats, middle of picture, at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research trials near Bushland show

cant damage; however,
drought-stressed plants are
more susceptible to cold
temperatures for multiple
reasons,” he said.
“Dry soil does little to
buffer temperature change
and makes growing points
more vulnerable under the
soil surface. Additionally,
drought-stressed plant tissue is less able to cope with
leaf damage.”
Neely said leaf burn on
an unstressed plant from
cold temperatures may
look devastating, but does
little damage to yield if the
growing points remain
healthy. The plant is able to
rapidly replace damaged
tissue when temperatures
warm up sufficiently for
growth to resume and adequate soil moisture is available.
“But damaged leaves on
drought-stressed plants can
lead to desiccation and
death due to destruction of
the growing point,” he said,
adding that observations
from plots in Bushland,
near Amarillo, show severe
winterkill in oats, minor
damage in barley and little
visible damage to wheat
plants.
“Often, symptoms take
time to manifest, so producers may need to wait for
a week or more before seeing yellow or necrotic
leaves,” Neely said.
Other concerns that
accompany freeze injury
are secondary infections
from fungi and/or bacteria,
which are more difficult to
assess initially, he said. If
plant tissue is damaged by
cold temperatures, the
plant may survive, but
damaged tissue creates an
entry point for diseases,
which can be quite damaging given unfavorable conditions.
With the recent weather
conditions observed in the
High Plains, widespread
winterkill is not anticipated
at this time; however, isolated pockets are always
possible,
Neely
said.
Producers should keep an
eye on fields over the next
week to look for yellowing.
For a better assessment
of crop status, producers
can dig up damaged plants
and put them in a bucket in
a warm room, he said.
Healthy plants will send up
new leaves to replace damaged ones and continue
growth. Some damaged
plants may green up only to
die shortly thereafter due
to secondary infections.
