BeefCast update for February 18, 2010, Steve Foglesong is Optimistic New President of National Cattlemen's Beef Association

For those of us in the cow-calf segment of the beef industry, this time of year is always exciting. Many of us are in the midst of our Spring calving season.

In spite of the challenges the weather conditions have brought during these early months of the year, it is always amazing to witness the vigor of newborn calves as they plow through a foot of snow.

Have you cleaned out those corn storage bins for the new crop yet? We’re hearing a few reports that over achievers have emptied bins in preparation for the new crop, then had to hustle out and harvest a few acres because they didn’t leave enough to grind.
