After reviewing a number of economic benchmarks including cull rates and cull cow prices, Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) announced Thursday that it will conduct a herd retirement. Bids will be accepted starting Friday, May 28th with a cutoff date of Friday, June 25th. CWT has determined that it will consider bids up to, but not to exceed, $3.75 per hundredweight. Farmers whose bids are accepted are paid by CWT for their milk production, and they also retain the beef value of the cows they send to processing. For more detail click here.
