Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Our research has accomplished the following major goals during the 2017 reporting period: We provided an updated assessment of price hedging effectiveness in the live cattle market. We provided new insight into effectiveness, feasibility, and adoption aspects of biosecurity measures for livestock industries. We estimated the impact of food safety recalls on beef demand in a more disagregated level than previously provided. We estimated price relationships between calf and yearling prices in cattle markets. We estimated consumer values such as safety, price, etc. when it comes to meat purchasing decisions.

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Our research has accomplished the following major goals during the 2016 reporting period: The recent mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) debate raises a question that has not been resolved in U.S. food labeling policy of what labeling information is best suited for mandatory versus voluntary labeling.Labeling information can be categorized into search, experience, and credence attributes.The production process the MCOOL label communicated to consumers was a credence attribute.We show for a mandated credence attribute there is generally insufficient increase in product demand or positive spillovers to justify costs of validating and monitoring a mandated credence attribute like that of MCOOL. This decade has seen movements in agricultural commodity futures markets never seen before. There are many factors that have intensified price movements and volatility behavior. Whatever the reasons are for price movements, it is clear that the volatility behavior in commodity markets constantly change, and risk managers need updated understanding to mitigate price risk. This study identified market structural breaks of weekly realized volatility in corn, wheat, soybeans, live cattle, feeder cattle and lean hogs futures markets. We analyzed the forecasting performance of implied volatility, historical volatility, a composite approach and a naïve approach as pragmatic forecasters of realized volatility. Results indicate there are multiple market structural breaks present in all six commodities. Differences in the forecasting performance of the analyzed methods were examined when individual market regimes were analyzed. Implied volatility encompasses all the information contained in the historical volatility and the naïve measure across each identified market regime in all six commodities. Overall there is evidence that indicates superiority of implied volatility over historical volatility, composite and naïve approaches. Combined this suggest implied volatility is a sound forecast for 1-week ahead volatility in agricultural commodity markets. As U.S. beef and pork prices approached record high levels in 2014, industry analysts expressed surprised at consumer response. Because the relative price swings have occurred only recently, traditional approaches to demand analysis that rely on historical data series may be less useful than is typically the case. Employing one of the largest and longest-running choice experiments, we analyze data on 110,295 choices made by 12,255 consumers observed over a year-long time period coinciding with historically high meat prices. Our findings reveal non-linear demands for meat products, with demand being more inelastic at higher prices. Ground beef, steak, and pork chop demands are more sensitive to changes in chicken breast price than the reverse. Moreover, cross-price elasticities between disaggregate meat products shrink as prices rise. Consumers' incomes significantly affect demand inter-relationships. Higher income consumers are more likely to choose steak and chicken breasts and are less likely to choose ground beef, chicken wings, and deli ham than are lower income consumers. High income consumers tend to be less responsive to own-price changes and more responsive to cross-price changes than lower income consumers. This analysis provides estimates of structural demand parameters that help explain current meat expenditure patterns, and the results have implications for the assumption of linearity often invoked in policy analyses.

Our research has accomplished the following major goals during the 2015 reporting period: While E.coli risk mitigation is widely recognized as a key issue for the U.S. cattle industry the economics of why available E.coli vaccinations are not widely employed in feedyards presented an important economic knowledge gap. To address this we estimate said effects providing clarity on the economic incentives that are needed to change the situation if vaccinations in U.S. feedlots are to be more widely adopted. Significant attention perpetually surrounds possible changes in breeding herd inventories in the U.S. beef cattle industry. We outlined economic considerations of U.S. herd expansion. Factors restricting expansion include land availability, increasing production efficiency, operator demographics, capital requirements, and commodity price volatility. Several off-setting factors support herd expansion including unprecedented cow-calf returns, ongoing global beef demand growth, timing within the current cattle cycle. In addition to these industry-wide factors, several important variations in individual ranch considerations are outlined. The authors' expectations on future herd dynamics are provided highlighting broader implications for individual operations, industry leaders, and the entire beef-cattle supply chain. The substantial economic impact and importance of the cow-calf sector warrants broader appreciation of these economic factors impacting herd expansion. The future size of the U.S. cattle industry is determined by the individual decisions of over 70,000 cattle owners making this issue worthy of review by all industry stakeholders.
