A livestock economist says drought continues to have a huge impact on beef cow inventories.
University of Missouri’s Scott Brown says especially over the last two years. “Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota – those six states lost more beef cows than the rest of the country combined,” he says.
He tells Brownfield with less than 29 million head of beef cows in the U.S., it is the lowest beef cow inventory since 1962.
