North Dakota State University will host a Cattle Backgrounding Program. This program aims to highlight a few topics to consider before deciding whether backgrounding might be a good fit for your operation.
Livestock markets, environmental conditions, and feed availability fluctuate from year to year. Each one impacts the decision of whether or not to background cattle. Profitability hinges on many factors, some them can be controlled and many that cannot.
