Adult volunteers can register for free, unless they want a t-shirt. “Last year, we shifted from a debate format – which is a win or lose-centered model – to one of dialogue and deliberation in which we support different truths and claims, and take into consideration everyone’s point of view,” said Aliah Mestrovich Seay, a Kansas 4-H youth development specialist for community vitality. The Kansas 4-H Youth Council selected the topics for Citizenship in Action based on a list of items on the National Issues Forum. “Our youth voted and decided that they want to talk more about what we as a society would have to give up to get the political system that would benefit all of us,” Mestro- vich Seay said. “This is always discussed on a spectrum, understanding that there are many options available. They deliberate and weigh those options. “On the second topic, policing, the discussion will be around what we should do to ensure justice and fair treatment in our communities.” We shipped our spring calves today. center each morning trying to steal a bite Mestrovich Seay is one of the leaders in the Kansas 4-H program series, Community Conversations, in which youth are trained to facilitate discussions in their communi- It was kind of bittersweet.

Indeed, the supply of feeder cattle is mostly determined for 2021 and those cattle will go through the feedlot as usual but with a different pro- duction system. The central decision that determines how feeder cattle get finished and become part of the beef supply is feedlot placements. Individual feedlots often have particular preferences for size, breed and type, gender and overall quality of the feeder cattle they purchase but also flexibility to feed a variety of animals. In general, feedlots can place feeder cattle weighting from less than 600 pounds to over 1,000 pounds. One of the biggest decisions for feedlots is whether to “buy pounds” (place heavier feeder cattle) or “feed the pounds onto the cattle” by placing lighter weight feeder cattle. This decision will change according to feed prices. As high feed prices push feedlot cost of gain up, feedlots have an incentive to “buy more pounds” and place heavier feeder cattle. Thus, the cattle industry responds to corn market signals to use less corn by placing cattle at heavier weights and using other (i.e. forage) feeds to add additional weight to cattle prior to feedlot placement. This is the advantage (and necessity!) of the cattle industry to use the ruminant capabilities of cattle to respond to the corn market situa- tion. If all the cattle finished in feedlots in 2021 (that would have been fed anyway) are placed, say, an average of 100 pounds heavier, the amount of reduction in total concen- trate feed use is significant. When feedlots demand heavier cattle, prices for lighter weight feeder cattle will decline relative to heavier cattle. For example, the price of 825-pound steers in Oklahoma is currently about $131/cwt. When corn is, say $3.65/bu., feedlots would be willing to pay roughly $155/cwt. for a 575-pound steer based on the cost of gain to put on the 250 pounds from 575 to 825 pounds. When corn price increases to say, $5.35/bu., the increased cost of gain means that the feedlot would only be willing to pay roughly $146/cwt. for a 575-pound steer – even though the price of the 825-pound steer has not changed. Of course, higher feed prices likely also means that the overall feeder cattle price level will decline as well. The change in feedlot demand for light versus heavy weight feeder cattle simultaneously provides incentives for stocker producers to add the needed additional weight to feeder cattle. In the example above, the value of stocker gain is roughly $0.75/lb. when corn is $3.65/bu. but increases to $0.97/lb. when corn price increases to $5.35/bu. Higher corn prices provide incentives for feedlots to change how cattle are finished and those decisions, in turn, will signal the rest of the cattle industry to make produc- tion adjustments utilizing the ruminant flexibility of cattle in response to changing feed prices. Relative to a given fed cattle price level, higher feed prices imply lower feeder cattle prices with prices of lighter weight feeder cattle under more pressure than heavier feeder cattle.

The Kansas Wildlife, Parks & Tourism agency re- leased the video from the warden’s body camera showing his sharpshooting skills earlier this month. Neither deer was hurt in the effort. The agency says a bowhunter contacted a game war- den on Jan. 7 to report seeing the entangled deer in rural Jackson County in northeastern Kansas. Two game wardens responded and after some time, were able to throw a towel over the ensnared animals’ heads to get them to freeze. One warden is then seen taking careful aim before firing and shooting part of one deer’s antler off. The startled animals, suddenly free, bound off in opposite directions. Bucks commonly fight and occasionally become en- tangled, but are usually able to release themselves.

November exports totaled 115,337 metric tons (mt), up 6% from a year ago and the largest since July 2019. Export value climbed 8% year-over-year to $707.5 million. No- vember beef muscle cut exports were the third largest on record at 91,338 mt (up 13%, trailing only July and August 2019), valued at $630.4 million (up 11%). November ex- ports to China and Guatemala set new monthly records, while shipments to Mexico were the largest since 2016. Exports to Taiwan remained strong and are well-posi- tioned to set a new annual record in 2020. “Demand for U.S. beef in the global retail sector has been outstanding and we expect this to continue in 2021,” Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO, said. “Unfor- tunately, foodservice continues to face COVID-related challenges. We expect a broader foodservice recovery this year, especially from mid-2021, but will likely see some interruptions in some markets.” Beef.
