Pricing Fed Cattle on a Grid: An Analysis of the Incentive Mechanism over Time

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Empirical results suggest that the grid premium and discount structure is slowly adjusting carcass quality incentive/disincentive market signals to encourage marketing on a grid and discourage marketing by the pen. If this trend continues, grid market share of steer and heifer slaughter volume should increase in the future.
