Trade, The Expanding Mexican Beef Industry, and Feedlot and Stocker Cattle Production in Mexico

By Derrell S. Peel, Kenneth H. Mathews, Jr, and Rachel J. Johnson

Outlook Report No. (LDPM-206-01) 24 pp, August 2011

The increase in cattle feeding in Mexico will increasingly affect U.S. feeder cattle imports and U.S. beef exports to Mexico in ambiguous ways as Mexican population and incomes increase. Cattle production also depends on geo-climatic factors, disease and pest challenges, feeding systems, and feeder cattle export patterns.
