That Old Cow

That Old Cow By Chris McClure Contributing Editor Yeah, her ribs show a bit, And she’s looking kind of thin, But she’s had a calf
CALF News is different from every other cattle industry publication because the editorial is different. CALF’s focus is on the people in the industry and the events, information and ideas that make the industry successful and cutting edge. CALF writers give you information you can’t get anywhere else, because it’s not published anywhere else. We invite you to read CALF to stay up-to-date on what’s happening in your industry.

In the beginning of CALF News, Champ Gross would go into a feedyard and take a picture of a lady for a column he called (in those days) “The Filet Mignon” that was featured in the back of the magazine. And it’s still there today. The name has changed several times and has been called The Top Cut and Cameo, but is currently CALF’s Featured Lady.

An acronym standing for California Arizona Livestock Feeder, CALF News was established in the early 1960s by Champ Gross. “He was a funny little guy from Belgium,” CALF News Editor and Publisher Betty Jo Gigot explains. “He wore tweed coats that had leather on the sleeves; he loved martinis and cigars, and is fondly remembered.” Gross had some friends in the feedyard businesses, and he decided that it’d be kind of nice to do a little pamphlet, which he called CALF News - and that’s how it started out in California.

Robust cattle prices are forecast for 2025 – but don’t overlook market barriers that may nullify a nice profit. Producers & feeders are urged to mitigate tight supplies, input costs, demand & drought heading into the new year. Find out why on page 14 of the current issue of CALF.
