The most common farm product produced in Meade County is beef. According to the recent Agriculture statistics, Meade County beef producers receive less money for their cattle than some of the surrounding counties. This indicates either the cattle are of poor quality or producers are receiving a less than acceptable price for animals being sold or both. To help with both problems, Certified Preconditioned for Health (CPH) feeder calf sales were organized by a committee of local Extension Agents, a Kentucky Beef Network facilitator, Cattleman Association memebers and beef producers from 4 different counties. If producers follow set guidelines on preconditioning their calves than a premium price should be received. Letters and forms were mailed to all Meade County beef producers to explain the preconditioning and sale guidelines. Nine Meade County producers consigned 157 calves in the sale. According to one case study done on one producers calves, a $1-$7 cwt premium was received on his calves. However, the big advantage in money was realized in the weight gain of the calves while being preconditioned. This producer averaged a net income of $78 per calf just on weight gain. Considering the price advantage and the weight gain Meade County beef producers added over $16,000 in value to their calves in the CPH scale.
