Abstract
Objective
The objective of this analysis was to determine whether an online bidding format affects the price of female beef cattle along with several factors such age, months bred, and her sire’s EPD.
Materials and Methods
This analysis uses annual sales data from 2017 to 2022 from a registered Angus cow and heifer sale in Crossville, Tennessee, that occurs in November at the University of Tennessee Plateau Research and Education Center. A hedonic pricing model was used to determine the value of these factors on sale price.
Results and Discussion
The results indicate heifer lots were sold for less than cows lots. The sale price of bred females increases until they are approximately 5 and 6 mo bred, and then the prices start declining. These results were expected based on the literature. The primary finding of this analysis is that having a sale to have online bidding increased the sale price by approximately $379 per head.
Implications and Applications
This research extends the literature by considering the effects of an online bidding presence on female sale prices. This article also builds on the growing literature examining how various factors affect female sale prices in the southeastern United States. These results are useful for producers with small and medium-sized herds who market cattle in their farm; they might consider implementing an online bidding com ponent when marketing their cattle.
