This is the 4th presentation in a 4-part series on the ethnic marketing of lamb and mutton. The presentation was given by Dr. Richard Ehrhardt from Michigan State University.
Population trends and immigration patterns in the US favor an increase in demand for lamb and mutton. The two largest demand sectors are Hispanic and Muslim consumers. Sheep meat is favored by the three major religions - Christian, Jewish, and Muslim. Ethnic marketing of lamb provides opportunities for growth but also challenges in understanding different customs and languages. Options for slaughter to supply ethnic markets include federal, state, custom-exempt, and personal exemption, with laws varying by state. The next webinar will discuss understanding ethnic consumers.
Small Ruminant Developmental programmes- An overviewDr Pranav Kumar
Small ruminants like sheep and goats make valuable contributions to rural livelihoods in developing countries by providing meat, milk, fiber and skins. However, research and development investments in small ruminant production have not matched their importance. The document discusses the history of small ruminant development programs in India since the 19th century. It outlines breeding strategies and development efforts under various Five-Year Plans. While small ruminants are economically important and well-adapted, productivity remains low due to lack of policy attention and funding compared to other livestock. Focused small ruminant development is needed to improve rural incomes and nutrition."
This presentation on mineral and vitamin nutrition (in sheep and goats) was part of a six part webinar series. It was presented by Dr. Dan Morrical from Iowa State University.
The document provides an overview of considerations for raising sheep, including different breeds and purposes for raising sheep, facilities and equipment needed, health and management practices, and regulations. Key factors that are discussed include deciding the purpose of raising sheep, such as for meat, wool, or dairy; land and fencing requirements; and common challenges like parasites, predators, and profitability. Resources are also provided for those interested in learning more about raising sheep.
The document discusses broiler marketing in India. It notes that 95% of chicken is sold live in wet markets, while only 4-5% is sold chilled or frozen. During summer months, supply is less than 80% of demand, while in winter months supply exceeds demand by 120-150% due to better growing conditions. Marketing of live chickens presents problems for small and medium farmers who depend on traditional traders. The key organizations involved in broiler meat marketing are BROMARK, BCC, and NMPPB. The most common marketing channels are producer to consumer, producer to retailer to consumer, and producer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer.
Hamri sheep are typically produced in rural farming areas. Farmers select breeding stock and raise the sheep. Suppliers then purchase the sheep from farmers and transport them to livestock markets in Khartoum. At the markets, traders buy the sheep to sell directly to consumers or restaurants in the city.

Marketing of meat & meat merchandising practices in india Dr. Keshab Debnath
The document discusses marketing and merchandising practices for meat in India. It provides background on livestock populations, contributions of the livestock sector to GDP, and components of the meat industry. It then discusses factors important for meat marketing like capital, resources and distribution. The SWOT analysis identifies strengths like availability of raw materials year-round but also weaknesses like lack of skilled labor and threats from global competition. It outlines production, processing, quality standards, and the potential for meat exports from India.
This document summarizes various breeds of cattle, dairy cattle, beef cattle, and buffalo. It describes over 20 different breeds, providing details on their origins, characteristics, and purposes. The breeds described include Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Jersey, Angus, Hereford, Brahman, Limousin, Chianina, and several breeds of water buffalo.
Sheep and goats produce many marketable products including meat, fiber, dairy, and vegetation control through grazing. Meat from sheep and goats can be sold through traditional markets like auctions or cooperatives, or through non-traditional direct marketing to consumers. Fiber from sheep and goats can also be sold traditionally through pools or warehouses, or directly to consumers as raw fiber or value-added products. Dairy from sheep and goats has similar regulations to cow dairy but with more limited infrastructure and competition from imports. Sheep and goats can also provide vegetation control services through solar grazing programs.
This presentation was given at the 5th International Symposium on Goat and Sheep Production in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, by Susan Schoenian, Sheep & Goat Specialist for University of Maryland Extension.

This document discusses the growth of ethnic populations in the United States and its implications for the sheep and goat industries. It notes that the Muslim, Hispanic, and Asian populations are growing rapidly as percentages of the total population and that these groups favor lamb and goat meat. This growth provides opportunities for expanded markets for sheep and goat producers if they understand the preferences and traditions of these ethnic groups. The document advocates that producers market directly to ethnic communities through halal or live animal sales to take advantage of growing demand from a diversifying American population.
Marketing Livestock and Poultry ProductsKarl Obispo
The document discusses abbatoir classification and marketing methods for livestock in the Philippines. It describes 4 classifications - AAA, AA, A, and non-accredited - based on facilities and eligibility for domestic and international sales. It also outlines 8 common marketing methods including local markets, traders, barrio agents, wholesalers, retailers, auction markets, contract growing, and institutional buyers. Various marketing problems, grades, classes, and distribution systems are also defined.
This document discusses egg marketing channels and methods. It describes several direct marketing methods like farm gate sales and sales to local shops. A typical marketing channel involves collectors, assembly merchants, wholesalers and retailers. Organized channels can involve producers selling directly to consumers or going through various intermediaries. Marketing agencies like NAFED aim to provide reasonable prices to farmers and consumers. The NECC was formed to unite poultry farmers and help them gain control over pricing and distribution in the face of exploitative middlemen.
Marketing involves activities related to creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers. It provides producers a mechanism to exchange livestock for cash, which is used to acquire goods and services. Livestock marketing involves the physical movement and transportation of animals as well as pricing. It can be direct between farmers and buyers, or indirect through intermediaries. Factors like customer preferences, animal age and health, and methods of slaughter influence marketing. Government policies and market demand also impact the livestock marketing system. Common types of livestock markets include primary collection markets, secondary distribution markets, and terminal markets.
Sheep and goats were among the first animals domesticated for dairy production around 6000-7000 BC. They are multi-purpose animals used for meat, milk, fiber, skins and more. While sheep and goats share some similarities as small ruminants, there are key physical, behavioral, and production differences between the two. The global sheep and goat populations are over 1 billion each, with China and India having the largest inventories. In the US, the sheep industry has declined since WWII but the goat industry has grown, focused mainly on meat production in Texas. Both industries face challenges around infrastructure, regulations, and competition.
The document provides information on various breeds of animals found in Pakistan. It discusses 10 breeds of buffaloes including the Nili-Ravi and Kundi breeds. It also discusses 10 breeds of cattle for milking and draught purposes including the Sahiwal, Dhanni, and Holstein Friesian. Further, it discusses 10 thin-tailed and 10 fat-tailed sheep breeds native to different parts of Pakistan and describes their characteristics.
This document provides information on conformation in sheep. It defines conformation as the structural arrangement and physical appearance of an animal. Good conformation is important because physical traits are heritable and defects can reduce productivity. The document describes key aspects of conformation in sheep, including proper mouth and bite, sound legs and feet, appropriate muscling and proportions, and sex characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of balance, structural correctness, and freedom from defects when assessing conformation.
The poultry industry in Pakistan has grown significantly since the 1960s when the government began promoting its development. Key events included the launch of the country's first commercial hatchery in 1964 and policies in the 1960s-1970s that provided incentives like tax exemptions and subsidized feed. The industry has since developed further and now contributes substantially to meat and egg production, generating many jobs. However, major floods in 2010 devastated agricultural land and killed livestock, posing severe challenges to the poultry sector.
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.

This document summarizes a study comparing goats fed in pens versus on pasture. The pen-fed goats gained more weight on average and had lower worm infection rates. However, the differences in meat quality and fatty acid content between the groups were small and not meaningful. Economically, pen feeding was shown to be advantageous based on increased growth rates and lower feed costs, though these benefits could be offset by parasite control costs for pasture-fed goats. The researchers aim to repeat the study with adjustments to equalize the goat groups and feeding methods.
This presentation is from a webinar series on management of the ewe and doe from late gestation through weaning. This presentation is on Neonatal care (care of the lamb and kid from day 0 to day 14).
This document summarizes a study comparing the health, performance, and carcass characteristics of pen-fed vs. pasture-raised meat goats. Over two years, male Kiko goat bucklings were either kept in pens and fed hay and grain, or grazed on pasture. The pen-fed goats had higher weight gains, lower parasite loads, and heavier carcasses with a higher percentage of lean meat compared to the pasture-raised goats. The study concluded that pen-feeding improved health and performance, adding $65-$70 of value per goat and was more profitable than pasture-raising in this two-year trial.
This document discusses various marketing options for goats and goat meat. It begins by outlining some challenges in marketing goats, such as low per capita consumption and specialized demand mostly within ethnic groups. It then covers topics like ethnic markets, slaughter options (federal, state, local, on-farm), grading, and different marketing channels like auctions, middlemen, and direct marketing. Key points emphasized are identifying target ethnic markets, producing the types of goats those markets want, and diversifying marketing strategies for profitability.
This document discusses new immigration trends in Toronto that present opportunities for sheep producers. It notes that over 30% of Toronto's population in 2011 were immigrants who arrived in the previous two decades. Certain ethnic groups like those from the Middle East are expected to more than double in size by 2031. A study on the ethnic market found that these groups consume 6-10 times more mutton and goat than average Canadians, especially around religious holidays. The document provides information on marketing lamb to these ethnic groups and outlines strategies for different parts of the supply chain, including retailers, processors, sale barns, and farmers.
This document provides an overview of marketing options for sheep and goat products. It discusses marketing meat from sheep and goats of different ages, as well as fiber, dairy products, skins, and vegetation control services. Regulations for slaughter and sales are outlined for federal, state, and exempt processing. Various marketing channels are described including auctions, brokers, cooperatives, and direct sales. Certification and labeling options are also summarized.
The document discusses various strategies for marketing goats directly from farms to consumers, ranging from the customer selecting and purchasing a live goat on the farm to the farmer conducting slaughter and processing to sell cuts and prepared goat meat products. Some key strategies mentioned are the farmer conducting on-farm slaughter and further processing meat to sell, arranging for custom slaughter and fabrication to then sell the meat, and selling cuts and dishes at public venues and through mailings.

The document provides information for farmers interested in starting pasture-based livestock farms, including considerations for goals, resources, markets, pasture availability, quality and management, suitable animal species, facilities, health and predators. It also outlines an "Animal Farmville" game that simulates establishing and managing a pasture-based livestock farm over three years to help players learn important real-world considerations.
A smart scale solution can help butchers track profitability from individual animals by capturing cut and product information directly in the butcher shop environment. A whole animal can be cut up in over 100 ways, making it nearly impossible for butchers to know the profitability of each animal. The proposed solution involves a simple tracking tool integrated with smart scales that would allow butchers to record the weight and sales of each cut and secondary product. This would provide butchers with reports on the revenue, costs and profits for each animal slaughtered in order to optimize profits from each cow.
This document provides an overview of grain marketing models and considerations for farmers. It discusses the different types of grain buyers, methods of selling including contracting and spot prices, and factors to consider like quality, timing and specifications. The document also shares details about Homestead Organics, a company that offers grain storage, cleaning and marketing support to farmers. It concludes with a discussion of using past market trends to inform decisions and uncertainties about future market conditions.
The document discusses the need for whole animal butchers to track costs and revenue from individual animals in order to understand profitability, as a single animal can be cut up in over 100 different ways making profitability hard to track. It introduces a proposed smart scale solution called Cash Cow that would allow butchers to easily track information from each animal as it is butchered and the cuts are sold, providing reports on revenue, costs and profit for optimization. The solution aims to help the over 1,000 whole animal butchers in the US better understand their business profitability.
This document discusses various marketing strategies for selling goats and goat meat directly from farms to consumers. It outlines approaches such as the customer selecting a goat on the farm and negotiating a price; the farmer hauling the goat to a slaughter facility for the customer; or permitting the customer to kill the goat on-premises. It also discusses the farmer conducting slaughter and processing of meat to sell cuts and products directly or cooking dishes to sell at venues like fairs. The strategies allow farmers to avoid commissions and connect buyers directly with their needs.
This document discusses various topics related to pork production quality and valuation, including:
- The importance of quality, consistency, and attention to detail in meeting customer expectations.
- Factors that can degrade commodity pork quality like cheap feed ingredients.

Building Wholesale Relationships & Positioning for the US Marketacornorganic
Beth Pomper presented this presentation as part of the 2013 ACORN Conference and Trade Show held in Moncton. Topics covered include wholesale, export and value-added organic production for building strong relationships in new markets.
Feed costs usually account for up to 75% of costs in a small ruminant enterprise. Reproductive efficiency and market prices also greatly impact profitability. To increase profits, producers should focus on reducing expenses like feed costs through strategies like maximizing pasture use, proper hay storage, and mixing their own rations. Producers should also focus on increasing income through higher reproductive rates and selling surplus lambs and kids. Achieving reproductive rates over 150% and weaning rates over 100% kids/ewes are important benchmarks for profitability.
Potomac Vegetable Farms is a family-owned organic farm in Northern Virginia with 10 acres of vegetables and half an acre of herbs. They generate $900,000 in annual gross sales, with 50% from their CSA program and 31% from farmers markets. The farm prioritizes high quality of life, making a living, low debt, and customer and worker engagement over maximizing profits. They utilize multiple sales channels to balance production, labor needs, and marketing throughout the year.
This document provides guidelines for preparing a market list and choosing high quality foods. It recommends determining a food budget, making a menu, and listing needed ingredients. When shopping, check weights, buy seasonal items, and read labels. For meats, look for bright color and fat distribution. Fresh fish have clear eyes and odor while eggs should have rough shells. Poultry should be fleshy and skinless. Fruits and vegetables should be crisp, colorful and fresh. Milk and packaged foods require label checks. Reporters are named for different cooking methods.

This document discusses different types of auctions and their benefits. It defines an auction as a method of allocating scarce goods based on competition between buyers and sellers. The main types discussed are English auctions (ascending price, open cry), Dutch auctions (descending price, open cry), first-price sealed bid auctions, and Vickrey auctions (second price, sealed bid). Auctions are useful when the value of goods is uncertain or to efficiently set market prices. However, auctions can result in the "winner's curse" where winners overpay. The document also examines auction strategies from the perspectives of buyers and sellers.

Vaccination, clean housing, and nutrition are emphasized for preventing enterotoxemia, respiratory disease, footrot, abortion, and mastitis. Proper use of antibiotics, vaccines, and dewormers is also discussed when drugs are necessary.
This document discusses strategies for minimizing drug use in small ruminant production. It begins by listing commonly used drugs like dewormers, vaccines, and antibiotics. It then discusses the risks of antibiotic resistance and regulatory changes around antibiotic use. For small ruminant producers, this means many antibiotics now require a prescription. The document provides alternatives to drug use like vaccinations, pasture management, genetic selection, and targeted selective treatment to control parasites. It emphasizes preventative healthcare through good nutrition, housing, and sanitation.
This document provides information for those considering getting goats. It discusses checking zoning laws and HOA rules, developing facilities and budgets, acquiring goats, and different goat production systems. Key points covered include the need to determine goals for goats, legal and neighbor considerations, ensuring adequate housing, fencing and supplies are in place, and acquiring goats through breeders versus auctions to avoid health risks. Production options like dairy, fiber, meat and vegetation control are overviewed.
This document discusses bacterial diseases in animals caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Dichelobacter nodusus which can have similar symptoms. Pregnancy toxemia is more common. Treatment involves using macrocyclic lactone dewormers like Ivomec or insecticides containing permethrins. The diseases can affect the abomasum and small intestines and may be clinical or sub-clinical.
The document provides guidelines for feeding sheep and goats at different stages of production. It discusses nutrient requirements for maintenance, flushing, gestation, lactation, weaning, and growing lambs and kids. Feeding recommendations are given for different forage types and amounts of grain supplementation. Protein levels are outlined for various classes of animals. The goal is to meet nutritional needs at lowest cost while maintaining body condition.
This document outlines the typical yearly cycle for raising sheep, beginning with breeding season in October and ending when the cycle repeats the following October. Key points include: rams are added in October to breed ewes; lambing occurs in March after a 152-day gestation; newborn lambs are jugged with their mothers and receive care; lambs are weaned at around 90 days old; ewes recover over summer before the breeding season starts again in the fall.
This document provides information on managing internal parasites in small ruminants. It discusses the primary internal parasites affecting sheep and goats, including roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, coccidia, and protozoa. An integrated approach to parasite control is recommended, combining management strategies like grazing management with targeted selective treatment. Key management strategies include developing host immunity, husbandry practices, nutritional management, and genetic selection. Diagnostic tools for targeted treatment include FAMACHA, five point check, and fecal egg counts. Combination dewormer treatments are advised to slow development of anthelmintic resistance.
This document discusses strategies for controlling gastrointestinal parasites like Haemonchus contortus (barber pole worm) in small ruminants. It emphasizes using integrated and targeted approaches like selective deworming based on FAMACHA scores, pasture management, and limiting drug use to reduce anthelmintic resistance. Proper administration and alternating between drug classes is also important for effective control. Sustainable practices involve preventing environmental contamination through various animal health and grazing techniques.
This document provides information on dewormer use and resistance in goats from a presentation at Langston University. It discusses proper drug usage, the different drug families and their modes of action, strategies for deworming, and methods to prevent resistance development like the FAMACHA system. The FAMACHA system allows selective treatment by using eye color charts to identify anemia levels and target only animals with scores of 3-5 that likely need deworming.
The FivePoint Check is a system that extends the FAMACHA eye anemia system to evaluate five criteria for determining if small ruminants need deworming. It examines the eye, jaw, back, tail, and nose to check for anemia, bottle jaw, body condition, scours, and nasal discharge. Considering all five criteria together is important as each sign can have multiple causes. The system was developed by the same scientists as FAMACHA and allows for more selective deworming to slow the development of anthelmintic resistance.
This document discusses strategies for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants while reducing the development of anthelmintic resistance. It covers the biology of Haemonchus contortus and other common worms. Overreliance on anthelmintics has led to widespread resistance. The concept of "smart drenching" and using the FAMACHA system for selective deworming of only infected animals are introduced to preserve drug efficacy and increase the refugia of susceptible worms. Proper dosing, administration, and management can maximize the benefits of integrated parasite control programs.
This document discusses economical parasite control for sheep and goats. It outlines that gastrointestinal parasites are a primary health problem, and that worms have developed resistance to dewormers. It recommends targeted selective treatment to only deworm animals showing signs of need, which reduces costs and slows resistance. Methods for determining which animals need treatment include the FAMACHA eye anemia system, Five Point Check, and monitoring performance. Non-drug control methods include pasture management, nutrition, genetics, and confinement.

•
Sell livestock prior to major ethnic holidays, at least one week ahead of time.
Do not castrate males, unless necessary.
Do not dock lambs, unless necessary.
Do not sell dirty animals with soiled hocks and hindquarters.
Consider shearing animals that are neither too fat nor too thin.
When selling suckling lambs/kids, sell them directly off their dams.
Mark your animals according to how you want them sold.
Do not bring your animals to the sale barn at the last minute.
Make sure your animals have feed and water.
Call the market manager ahead of time. Get to know manager(s).
Sit through auctions. Get to know buyers.
Consider selling when reported prices are low.
Consider breeding out-of-season.
Pay attention to body condition. Don’t sell culls that are too fat or too thin.
Sell to the auction that offers you the most profit – not necessarily the
highest price.

16. American lamb check-off
www.lambcheckoff.com
• ALL sheep are subject to assessment when sold.
[market lambs, feeder lambs, freezer lambs, ethnic lambs, 4-H lambs, culls, breeding stock]
• Two assessments
1. Producer (and feeder)
$0.007 per lb. sheep sold
2. First handler (usually processor)
$0.42 per sheep slaughtered
• Assessments should be remitted monthly to the American Lamb
Board (by the 15th of the month following the sale).
• The check-off funds the activities of the American Lamb Board:
promotion, education, information, and communication.
17. How does the check-off work?
Producer
Marketing agency
• The producer is assessed $0.007
per lb. of live sheep that he sells.
• Who remits the check-off (to the
Lamb Board) depends upon the
method of marketing.
• Feeders are
obligated to
pay $0.007
per lb. on the
weight that
the sheep
gains.
• Sheep held for less than 10 days
are exempt from the check-off.
• Marketing agencies, while
exempt from the checkoff, collect the assessment
($0.007/lb) from the producer
(seller) and pass it on to the
buyer.
• If you market sheep through
a sale barn,
you do not
need to remit
anything to
the Lamb
Board.
18. How does the check-off work?
First handler (usually processor)
• Producer portion of check-off
has been passed onto the first
handler by marketing agency
or it is deducted from the
selling price of the lambs.
• First handler is assessed an
additional $0.42 per head.
• First handler remits entire
assessment to Lamb Board.
Direct marketers
• Direct
marketers
are both
producer
and first
handler
and are
assessed an
additional
$0.42 per
head.
• If you are a direct marketer you
need to remit both the producer
($0.007/lb) and first handler
($0.42/head) portions of the
check-off to the Lamb Board.
19. Check-off examples for 100 lb. lamb

22. Final thoughts about marketing options
• Sell lambs for a profit –
know your cost of
production.
• Sell lambs for highest
“net” price; consider all
marketing costs when
choosing best option(s).
• Have a plan for marketing
your lambs; don’t just
take them to the sale
barn when you feel like it.
