Even though African Swine Fever (ASF) is still affecting many countries around the world, we are seeing much more interest and purchases of swine genetics from our customers around the world with recent shipments and upcoming shipments to China, Malaysia and the Philippines. The price of oil has decreased over the past few months and transportation costs have been reduced as well in a competitive airline market. If you are looking to upgrade genetics, or working on a repopulation, please feel free to contact us.
The US Dairy Industry continues to change with the impact of higher US beef prices and demand. One would estimate over 60% of our US dairy herd is bred to a beef breed bull like Angus, Wagyu and others. This has greatly reduced the number of dairy heifers for export and much more planning is needed to schedule large shipments by sea delivery. The US milk prices are below breakeven margins, but if you are looking for pregnant heifers for an immediate purchase, buyers will have to consider Holstein heifers bred to beef bulls or work to purchase non-pregnant heifers months before the shipment and breed to Holstein bulls. It is a different dairy industry in the USA.
