For the past 7 years, BEEF has assembled the Annual Seedstock 100 list. We do this to determine the impact these operations are having today on the beef industry’s genetic base. We are also trying to establish the level of concentration in the industry.
As such, the BEEF Seedstock 100 list makes no claim to be representative of the seedstock industry. Neither is it a proxy for the quality and ability of the industry. Inclusion in the list is strictly limited to the number of bulls a seedstock supplier sells annually. We gain this information from a variety of sources throughout the fall of the year.
The 2021 class of Seedstock 100 operations sold 56,275 bulls in 2020, which is 116 more bulls than the previous year. We found a greater spread between the top and bottom end than the previous year. The 2021 list is very representative of the years prior to 2020.
The work for the new list was done in October and November. Most of the seedstock operators were reasonably enthusiastic. They thought that if the drought got a little tougher, we might have fewer replacements being kept.
This year, we have put more emphasis into the Seedstock Directory. This is a list of seedstock suppliers who sell bulls and are interested in doing business with commercial cattlemen.
With the New Year, we welcome a new sponsor, Neogen and the Igenity + Envigor platform.
