NCFB also gives producers the carcass data they need to make herd improvements and be responsive to consumer demands. The NCFB program is fully integrated, with quality controls at every point in the production and marketing chain. This critical feature allows market incentives, financial rewards, and carcass information to flow back to producers. On the market development side, NCFB works to build new marketing channels in food service, retail, and mail order to increase demand for Nebraska Corn-Fed Beef TM products. The NCFB program is governed by producers for producers.
Teamwork is the key.
When your cattle are ready for market, NCFB coordinates with the feedyard to schedule processing with the packer. After harvest, NCFB will send you the carcass data for each animal. A value pricing system is used that is exclusive to the Nebraska Corn-Fed Beef TM Program. Premiums are based on USDA quality grades and yield grades for carcass weights in the 600-1000 pound range. Discounts apply for less desirable carcasses.
