Retained Ownership
With the advent of value-based marketing, our retained ownership programs can enhance the value of your business.
In the past, many producers did not retain ownership of their cattle beyond the calf or yearling stage, which meant they had less risk but also fewer rewards.
Today, as packers are recognizing and paying for better genetics and higher-quality carcasses, Beef Northwest provides everything possible to help you achieve the profits you deserve and obtain the performance data you need to continue improving and fine-tuning your breeding program.
We are able to provide complete carcass data and can even help run trials on groups of cattle.
As margins get slimmer in our industry, retained ownership will be increasingly important to achieving better profits.
At Beef Northwest, we are able to help you with important individual services every step of the way.
Alliances and Marketing
Beef Northwest is proud to be working with a wide array of beef production alliances that can help you more effectively target market your cattle for maximum returns on your investment.
We currently feed cattle for Oregon Country Natural Beef and Certified Angus Beef – to name a few. And no matter what market you’re aiming for, we have the flexibility and expertise to make that happen.
Beef Northwest also recently developed an alliance with Thomas Angus Ranch, Harrell Hereford Ranch and Lorenzen Red Angus Ranch, three of Oregon’s largest seedstock producers.
The Beef Northwest, Thomas and Harrell alliance is a cooperative effort called Northwest Premium Genetic Partners and the Lorenzen Red Angus alliance is referred to as BNWLRA (Beef Northwest Lorenzen Red Angus). These alliances help ensure a steady supply of proven performance and carcass genetics for commercial producers across the country and enables all participating sectors to share production and carcass quality information.
Cattle fed at Beef Northwest receive market prices for fed cattle competitive with the top feeding states in the country. We have marketing agreements with regional packers Tyson and AB Foods, and several marketing options are available to meet the needs of individual customers.
