The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published a study on Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) negotiated slaughter cattle market reporting. The study, conducted by Dr. Ted Schroeder and Dr. Glynn Tonsor with Kansas State University and Dr. Lee Schulz with Iowa State University, can be found online.

The study explored the feasibility of reporting negotiated slaughter cattle purchases in separate 0-14 and 15-30 day delivery windows and the possibility of the realignment of states in the 5-Area reporting region, while maintaining the confidentiality requirements set forth in the LMR statute.

AMS will host a stakeholder meeting to review the findings and recommendations from the study on Thursday, December 12, 2019, from 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. CT, at the USDA National Grain Center located at 10383 North Ambassador Drive, Kansas City, Mo. 64153. If you plan to attend the meeting in person, please register by sending an email to Wash.LPGMN@usda.gov by Friday, December 6, 2019. 

The meeting will be broadcast live as a webinar for stakeholders who cannot attend in person.  To view the webinar, please register in advance here. 

For additional information, contact Michael Lynch, Livestock, Poultry, and Grain Market News Director, at (202) 720-4846; or Taylor Cox, Field Chief, at (515) 284-4460.
