The Nebraska Advantage . . . BEEF

The beef industry is the largest single industry in Nebraska, and it is an aggressive, dynamic business. Productive range and cropland supports over 1,940,000 cows in Nebraska. The abundant supply of water and generous feed and grain supplies have supported the expansion of the state's feedlot industry. Nebraska is the No. 3 marketer in fed cattle.

Nebraska's prominence in our nation's cattle industry is due, in part, to the rich natural resources in the state and to the willingness of the producer to adapt to change. The cattle industry is an industry of constant change. Cattle producers are responsive to the demands of consumers around the world. By using more productive genetics, planned crossbreeding systems, better health programs, and computerized record keeping, today's producer can provide both the breeder and the feeder with cattle to meet both industry and consumer demands.

The Ag Promotion and Development Division of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture is also dedicated to assisting individuals interested in Nebraska cattle. Staff can provide information or arrange for visits with producers and beef industry leaders in our state. We invite you to discover the Nebraska advantage of superior breeding stock. We are confident you can find the livestock assistance you need in Nebraska.

The Nebraska Beef Cattle Industry
Is the state's single largest industry and the engine that powers the state's economy. The multiplied impact of the $6.5 billion in cattle sales each year is $12.1 billion. Cattle-related employment means income for businesses up and down main street in towns and cities across the state. In short, the beef cattle industry has an unmistakable impact on other economies in Nebraska.

Nebraska is Unique
The importance of cattle feeding to Nebraska's economy runs deeper than in other states. Nearly 5 million head are finished and marketed in Nebraska, a state with a population of 1.7 million residents. Texas markets a third more cattle than Nebraska, but it has a population of 20.1 million residents (nearly 12 times larger than Nebraska). Iowa markets less than 2 million cattle and has 1.1 million more residents than Nebraska. Thus, Nebraska's standard of living is more dependent on the cattle feeding industry.

Nebraska has the Top Cow Counties in the Nation
Nebraska has the top three beef cow counties in the U.S., including the nation's No. 1 cow county Cherry County, with nearly 166,000 cows. Custer County is No. 2 (100,000) and Holt County is No. 3 (99,000). Also, among the top counties in the nation is Lincoln County at No. 12 (69,000).

Four Times as many Cattle as People
January 2006 figures illustrate that Nebraska continues to have far more cattle than people. Cattle outnumber Nebraskans nearly 4 to 1. Cows number 1.94million, versus Nebraska residents who number just 1.7 million. The cows and the 4.7 million head that are annually fed in Nebraska total nearly 6.64 million cattle.

Why so much Beef in Nebraska?
Nebraska has a unique mix of natural resources. Cattle turn grass from 24 million acres of rangeland and pasture, more than one half of Nebraska's land mass, into protein and many other products for humans. The land grazed by cattle allows more people to be fed than would otherwise be possible. More than one billion bushels of corn are produced here each year, 40% of which is fed to livestock in the state. Cattle producing families, who make their living from the land, have a strong incentive to protect their animals and the environment.

Agriculture In Nebraska
Nebraska is located in the mid-section of the United States (latitude 40°N-43°N; longitude 96°W-104°W). Hot summers and cold winters, variability in rainfall distribution, fluctuating length of growing season, and frequent winds typify Nebraska's climate and each has affected agricultural production decisions and resource distribution over the years. Average "precipitation," during the last decade, ranged from slightly under 30 inches in the southeast to slightly over 17 inches in the west. About 75 percent of the precipitation falls as rain during April - September, the crop growing season. Average growing season ranges from 170 days in the southeast to 120 days in the extreme northwest. The southeast is about 1,000 feet above sea level, while the Panhandle has elevations of 4,000 - 5,400 feet. "Irrigation" is used by 36 percent of farms, covering 7.6 million acres of harvested cropland, pastureland, and other land, providing a buffer against drought, a serious recurrent problem for the Great Plains. A careful selection of adaptable crops, improved varieties, use of no till, minimum till, strip and contour cropping, stubble mulching, deferred grazing, and other proven practices enable Nebraska farmers to cope with climatic uncertainty and supply domestic and international markets with top-quality products.

Water Resources
Nebraska is a water-rich state. Underneath over half of its 49-million-acre land surface, in porous rock beds called aquifers, is stored about 2 billion acre feet of good quality groundwater, most of which is readily accessible. Add to that an average of 80 to 100 million acre feet of annual precipitation and an annual surface water inflow of roughly 2 million acre feet to obtain a measure of available water. In terms of surface water, approximately 7 to 8 million acre feet flows on to other states, making Nebraska a donor of approximately 5 to 6 million acre feet more than flows into its borders. Groundwater irrigation began in the 1920's. At the beginning of 1975, nearly 46,000 registered irrigation wells and about 5,000 surface water rights supplied 4 million acres. Currently, 90,534 registered wells and some 8,552 surface water rights supply water to over 7.6 million acres of harvested cropland, pastureland, and other land.

Soil Resources
Nebraska soils are a product of interaction of climate and biological organisms on parent materials as modified by local topography, drainage, and exposure to weathering. Two types of geologic deposits are parent materials for the vast majority of soils in the state. Wind-blown sand is the parent material in the Sandhills grazing region that occupies much of the north central part of the state. Elsewhere, most soils have formed in wind-blown silt and clay or loess. Topography and subsequent soil drainage have greatly influenced development of soil properties in local areas.

Land Uses
Nebraska's 45.7 million acres in farms and ranches is divided between cropland and other land used primarily for pastures and rangeland to support the state's livestock industry. In 2006, the area planted to crops and used for hay totaled 18.7 million acres. Active participation in government acreage reduction programs has reduced planted acreages in some years. Comparable area planted estimates for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 were 18.9, 19.1, 18.8, and 18.9 million acres, respectively.

Corn, soybeans, winter wheat, and sorghum are the state's leading crops, utilizing 15.3 million acres of cropland in 2006. Corn and winter wheat are grown essentially statewide, while most soybeans are produced in the eastern one-half of Nebraska. Primary sorghum producing counties lie in the southeastern and south central portions of the state. The specialty crops of dry edible beans and sugarbeets are produced in western irrigated fields. Sandhill pastures of north central Nebraska produce much of the state's wild hay production and maintain many cow/calf operations.

Nothing Beats Lean Beef

Beef provides 39% of the Daily Value of zinc; chicken provides just 6%. Zinc keeps you going strong by helping maintain a healthy immune system.
According to government consumption surveys, 75% of children ages 3 to 5 do not meet their needs for zinc.
Beef is one of the best sources of iron. Close to 40% of Americans do not meet iron daily requirements. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the United States.
To absorb the same amount of iron found in a three-ounce serving of beef, you'd have to eat nearly three chicken breasts or three cups of spinach.
Nearly half the fat in beef is monounsaturated, the same heart-healthy fat found in olive oil.
A third of beef's saturated fat is stearic acid, a unique saturated fat that has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid - more commonly known as CLA - is a type of fatty acid found naturally in red meat that has been shown to inhibit several types of cancer in animal studies.

The Power of Protein
Beef is considered a "complete protein" because it contains all the essential amino acids the human body needs. Protein provides stamina by building and maintaining strong muscles. A constant supply of protein is needed by the body to repair cells and regulate body processes.

The Skinny on Beef
Today's beef has 27% less fat than 10 years ago. In fact, there are eight cuts of beef within the federal guidelines to be designated as "lean." Most lean cuts have the word loin or round in the name (e.g., beef sirloin, or beef top round steak) these cuts have on average 6.4 grams of total fat, and 2.3 grams of saturated fat per three-ounce serving. These are the best cuts to help you carry on a heart-healthy diet.
