RANCHING 101 SESSION ON
FEEDER CALF VALUE
J
oin Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association for a virtual Ranching 101 session at 1 p.m. Sept. 1 with featured speaker Chip Kemp, International Genetic Solutions director of commercial and industry operations.
A tool in this conversation is the Feeder Profit Calculator from International Genetic Solutions. Kemp says the resource can aid producers when it comes to both marketing and long-term decision making within the cow herd.
Kemp will remind cattle raisers of the tried and true basics of generating feeder calf value. He will also discuss modern situations making proven calf performance more necessary than ever before.
In his role with International Genetic Solutions, Kemp’s duties range from assisting progressive commercial producers with genetic awareness of crossbred cow herds to the development of new technologies highlighting the profit potential of genetic knowledge in the beef industry, regardless of breed type.
Chip Kemp
Kemp was an instructor for 18 years at University of Missouri, prior to joining International Genetic Solutions. He also spent two years with the Beef Division of IBP Inc. in Amarillo, Texas. He grew up working for Gerloff Farms, an Angus and SimAngus seedstock operation based in Missouri, and is still involved with the program today.

Virtual attendees will learn about the realities of who does, and doesn’t, have leverage in the market today — and how to respond accordingly. They will also hear about balancing cow costs and feeder calf revenue.
