The Boiling Springs cattle raiser was
skepticai. “The best program on ’beef
economics’, “he said Monday, “will be to
tell me how to get out of the business,’’
How to avoid that outcome was the
subject Tuesday of six speakers to
approximately 100 cattle raisers at the
Southwestern Area Cattlemen’s confer
ence in Shelby. Cleveland County’s
extension service hosted the conference.
“Look nobody else will make it better for
us except us,’’ speaker Norm Vincel told
the cattle raisers from Rutherford, Burke,
Catawba, Gaston, and Cleveland counties.
“But we can do it for ourselves by
in-creasing the profit by breeding.’’
Vincel, who oversees breeding.for Select
Sires farm of Virginia, urged A. I.
techniques and estrus synchronization.
Toussaint, head ot the economics and
business department at State, listed three
ways to reduce that cost: increase calving
to 95V2; increase the weaning weight; and
take advantage of tax laws.
Such measures, Toussaint said, require a
strict culling of the heard: “You tend to
think, ‘That’s a mighty nice cow, I think
I’ll keep her’,’’ Toussaint said. “But
you’ve got to think, ‘She didn’t breed, she
goes to market’.’’
Toussaint said these measures reduced
operating expenses in his herd to 78 cents
per pound. That cost is still above the
average 48 cents per pound the cattle
raisers made in 1981, Toussaint said, but
he pointed out that last year was the worse
for cattle raisers since 1975, and that
market conditions appear better this year.
Dr. Bill Toussaint, or N.C. State
University, pointed out to the cattlemen in
his talk on beef economics that it cost them
about $1.20 per pound operating expens
es to raise a cow in a herd of 60.

and we are pleased to be associated with
the Broyhill School of Management at

goal of the Broyhill School would be to
prepare students to function effectively in
society, in the business community and in
