BNW Survey Results



Interest in managing risk and identifying marketing opportunities came to the forefront in results of a recent survey of BNW customers. Results show a strong desire among ranchers in emerging opportunities as the economy improves for adding value to cattle.
60% of respondents were cow-calf producers.
54% of respondents said they were interested in retained ownership through the feedlot.
70% have retained ownership of cattle through Beef Northwest.
67% are interested in age-verification.
57% said they are interested in entering an Age and Source Verified program.
Respondents selected "market advice" and "managing risk" as their top-two responses in which BNW can provide them assistance.
Finally, the respondents' primary use of BNW's website -- www.beefnw.com -- is to receive real-time "yard sheet" information on the performance of their cattle in the feedlot. Thanks to everyone who responded to our survey. Your responses will help us provide you with better service in the future.
