Objective yield estimates in this report included the number of ears per acre in selected fields. About 28,000 ears per acre were estimated behind only the years 2013-2016. When ear count is combined with estimated pro- duction, the implied ear weight was almost 0.35 lbs per ear, which would be the third larg- est on record, behind only 2004 and 2016.

Source: Ohio Beef Cattle Letter Profit Tip: Consistency Is Key To Proper Feed Bunk Management Proper bunk management is the art of matching feed deliver- ies to the amount of feed cattle need for optimal performance. Underfeeding cattle results in poor gains and feed efficiency, longer days on feed, and re- duced carcass quality. On the other hand, putting more feed in front of cattle than they can handle leads to digestive upsets, crashes in intake, and wasted feed (Pritchard et al., 2003).

Conditions have changed since the quarterly safeguards were established in 1994, and the growth in Japan’s imports this year has not adversely impacted Japan’s domestic beef producers. Prices for wagyu carcasses and wagyu feeder cattle are down from the record highs of last year, but are otherwise the highest in recent history. Japan has also moved away from the quarterly safeguard mechanism in its re- cent trade agreements. Through the JAEPA, Japan transitioned from quarterly safeguards to an- nual safeguards, which are much less likely to be triggered. The snapback duties on Australian beef have also been reduced, minimizing any potential impact on trade. Japan also agreed to similar terms in its economic partnership agreement with Mexico and in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
