Abstract

Structural changes in cattle feeding and meatpacking have affected cattle feeders. As a result, some cattle feeders have become increasingly concerned about market access and pricing methods. This report explores one response available to cattle feeders: to collectively market cattle by forming a marketing cooperative. Three alternative types of fed cattle cooperatives are discussed: bargaining cooperatives, electronic marketing cooperatives, and integrated cattle feedingmeatpacking cooperatives.
