The Cost of Meeting Consumer Demand(s) John Lawrence Extension Livestock Economist and Director, Iowa Beef Center Iowa State University www. iowabeefcenter. org
Increased demand • Increased demand for beef – Grown steadily since 1998 – Consumers pay more for same amount – Quality, convenience, carbs • Increased demand on beef – Moving from “trust me” to “prove it” www. iowabeefcenter. org

Product Definition • Commodity markets – One item - one price • Value-based markets – Measured, graded, and sorted at harvest – Price difference based on measured traits – Produce to impact measure/grade www. iowabeefcenter. org
Product Definition • Certified marketing programs – Typically a product specification – Determined at harvest – USDA lists over 50 “certified” beef programs – Over 60% are Angus programs www. iowabeefcenter. org
Product Definition • Certified production programs – Certify process – May prescribe standards – Example: Organic, Non-hormone treated beef www. iowabeefcenter. org
Product Definition • Certify the capacity of the operation to produce to spec – ISO 9000 – Process Verified – Quality System Assessment www. iowabeefcenter. org
Commodity World • • All beef is beef Minimum standard to qualify Low cost producer of the minimum wins Minimum standard is rising as are costs – Feed ban signatures, COOL • Grades define various minimums not products www. iowabeefcenter. org
Product World • Some beef is different • Differentiated on attributes and brands • Consumers pay more for different – Attributes – Processes – Brands www. iowabeefcenter. org
Certified programs • USDA lists 55 certified beef programs – 34 Angus programs – 3 Hereford programs with breed claim – 2 were Process Verified • Red Angus Assn and PM Beef 1/20/05 www. iowabeefcenter. org
Angus Certified Programs • Angus Upper 2/3 rd Choice or Higher • Angus Multi-Tiered (Prime, Upper 2/3 rd Choice, Low Choice, and/or Select) • Angus Choice • Angus Select or higher • Angus Utility or higher www. iowabeefcenter. org
Differentiated products • Detectable attributes – Marbling – Guaranteed tender – Grass-finished • Credence attributes – Content: nutrients, fatty acids – Process: natural, free-range, non-GMO www. iowabeefcenter. org
Beef Quality Defined by Grade • • Current system Commodity – Value based Growing incentives What are the costs www. iowabeefcenter. org

Assessing the Cost of Beef Quality Cody Forristall, Gary May and John D. Lawrence Iowa State University www. iowabeefcenter. org
Objectives 1. Quantify the relative profit contribution in feedlots, comparing carcass premiums and feedlot performance. 2. Compare feedlot profitability to cow characteristics and maintenance costs to determine if the least cow produces the most profitable steer. www. iowabeefcenter. org
Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity Data • • • Long standing steer test Extension participation 7 feedlots with common protocol Data from over 50 producers 1147 Calf-fed steers 1996 -1999 marketing years www. iowabeefcenter. org
Data Collection • Individual weights – In, out, and during feeding • Marketed in 2 -3 drafts/year • Measured carcass data – USDA QG and marbling score – Calculated YG • Cornell model for individual FE www. iowabeefcenter. org

Cow Stored Feed Cost • • Developed index Cow weight and BCS Relative to average of BCS 5 cows Based on average cost for BCS 5 www. iowabeefcenter. org
Cow Data • 542 head with cow data • Small subset!!!!! • Could not fit a regression – R-square =. 11 and no significant variables www. iowabeefcenter. org
Cow Cost vs. Feedlot Return Cow Cost Low Feedlot Return $41. 10 Cow Cost $146. 13 High $32. 47 $166. 58 www. iowabeefcenter. org
Contingency Table Feedlot Returns Cow Cost Low High Low 43% 57% High 57% 43% www. iowabeefcenter. org
Summary • Premiums increasing for quality • Biological tradeoffs impact profits • Marbling explains greater share of profit differences as C-S grows • Early results suggest cow costs and feedlot profits negatively correlated www. iowabeefcenter. org
Feeder Cattle Quality • Grid premiums • Feedlot performance • What influences these economic traits? • Is it the feeder cattle? www. iowabeefcenter. org

Changing Demands • Retail sector • Export sector • Domestic consumer sector www. iowabeefcenter. org
Retail sector changes • More powerful and demanding retailers – 10 firms with 49% market share – Walmart + Sam’s 17% – House brands and exclusive suppliers – Liability issues – Outsource inspection and compliance www. iowabeefcenter. org
Retail sector changes • European influence – 2 of top 11 US grocers are European – 4 of top 10 world grocers are European • Chain Captain model – Retailer is in consumer protector role – US consumers still trust USDA for safety – Others are not a trusting of gov’t www. iowabeefcenter. org
European lessons • Chain Captain model is costly – Safety is competitive issue – Must be audited to sell – Multiple audits – Multiple issues beyond safety • Feed use • Animal rights • Worker safety www. iowabeefcenter. org
Animal rights • • Mc. Donalds plant verification FMI and NCCR guidelines SWAP certification TQA certification www. iowabeefcenter. org

Consumer Choices • Commodity – One “average” product – One “average” price • Products – Individual prices www. iowabeefcenter. org
Verify label claims • USDA wants definition of terms – Protecting consumers from fraud – Branded product needs to assure compliance with stated claims – Reputation and liability – Cost of enforcement on top of cost to produce special attributes www. iowabeefcenter. org
Victim or Opportunist • Most under manager’s control • Some changes require production response (genetics, nutrition) • Some changes require management response (information and communication) www. iowabeefcenter. org
Quality management systems • A producer directed management system to assure that the producer – Capable of meeting the requirements – Document that requirements are met – Information to evaluate production and marketing opportunities when they arise. www. iowabeefcenter. org
Quality management systems • Various models available ranging in complexity, cost, and flexibility • 3 rd party verification to have value • Examples include – ISO 9000: 2000 – USDA Process Verified – ISO 14001 www. iowabeefcenter. org
Quality System Assessment • USDA Program • Agricultural Marketing Service, Livestock and Seed Program, Audit, Review, and Compliance Branch – BEV – COOL www. iowabeefcenter. org
QSA Program Requirements 1. Quality Management Systems 2. Management Responsibility 3. Human Resources - Competence, Awareness, and Training 4. Product Realization 5. Measurement, Analysis, and Improvement www. iowabeefcenter. org
QSA - Measurement, Analysis, and Improvement Customer Satisfaction • The company must monitor information relating to customer perception as to whether the company has met customer requirements. www. iowabeefcenter. org
"There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else. " - Sam Walton www. iowabeefcenter. org
Where to Start • Say what you will do. • Do what you say. • Be able to prove it with documentation and records. www. iowabeefcenter. org
Where to Start • Written description of operation • Retrievable information system – Describe how and where you keep information – Keep it simple but sufficient to back up claim • Information to run your business www. iowabeefcenter. org
Quality management systems • Cost associated with developing management system, audits, and certification • Benefits include – Market access – Market flexibility – Better management – Lower costs www. iowabeefcenter. org
Rising Demands on Beef • • • Widening Choice-Select spread Consolidating retail sector Brands with claims and liabilities Consumers looking for choices Rising commodity standards www. iowabeefcenter. org
Rising Demands on Cattle • Quality grades outweigh feedlot performance at higher C-S spreads • Health/treatment impact grading • Age and source verification • Greater value from calves that have a sound health program and genetics to grade • IF YOU CAN PROVE IT!!!! www. iowabeefcenter. org
Cost of not meeting demands • Commodity market will continue – The minimum will continue to rise • Missed opportunities if you are not eligible for value added markets • May lose to pork or poultry, and some beef producers will lose to other beef producers www. iowabeefcenter. org
Cost of not meeting demands Although your customers won’t love you if you give bad service, (or a bad product) your competitors will. - Kate Zabriskie, founder Business Training Works www. iowabeefcenter. org
