Watch Cattlemen to Cattlemen Week 39: Original Air Date October 30, 2007:

On this week's edition of NCBA's Cattlemen to Cattlemen:  An update on the Senate version of the 2007 Farm Bill. NCBA is opposed to placing any new restrictions on cattlemen's marketing options or cattle ownership into the Farm Bill, as these proposals represent unnecessary government interference in the livestock business. For more on how you can help NCBA represent cattlemen's interests in the Farm Bill debate, visit: www.beefusa.org/governmentaffairs.aspx

Jim Kelley, business manager for Superior Livestock, joins Susie Ross in-studio to discuss the growing popularity of video cattle auctions, and how cattlemen can explore video auctions as a marketing option. Kelley also explains the advantages of source and age verification. For more information, visit: www.superiorlivestock.com.

Your cowherd's body condition score greatly influences a cow's reproductive efficiency and health, all of which can greatly affect a cow-calf operation's bottom line.  This week, Cattlemen to Cattlemen's own Todd McCartney visits with Dr. Lee Dickerson from Land O'Lakes Purina Feed at the Long View Animal Nutrition Center in Missouri.  Plus, Dr. Dickerson looks at how beef cow nutrition can improve profit potential.  For more information, visit: www.cattlenutrition.com.

And we head north to beautiful Montana and the Cayuse Livestock Company.  That's where you'll find NCBA Policy Division Vice Chair Bill Donald running a cow-calf operation with his wife, two sons and their families.  It's an operation that's been in the Donald family for decades.  Learn more as we spend “A Day in the Life” of Bill Donald.
