433: Data That Could Put More Value in Your Cattle with Brett Spader

<p>Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Brett Spader joins Lauren to talk about how better use of data and technology could change the way value moves through the beef industry. From genetics and EPDs to feedlot performance, harvest records and red meat yield, Brett explains why getting more information back through the supply chain could help producers make better decisions and ultimately get rewarded for the value they are already creating. Brett also breaks down what breed associations can look like in a more data driven industry, how technology can make decision-making easier for producers, and why even small improvements in efficiency can add up to meaningful profitability. The conversation looks at what the next generation of cattle producers needs from technology and where the beef industry can go from here.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Links:</p><p>American International Charolois Association: https://charolaisusa.com/Connect with Brett on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-spader-30207b13b/</p><p>CattleUSA Insurance - <a href="https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m</a><br />⁠CattleUSA Website - <a href="https://www.cattleusa.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cattleusa.com/</a><br />CattleUSA App IOS: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cattleusa/id1673147759" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cattleusa/id1673147759</a><br />CattleUSA App Android: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edgarmcbee.cusamobile&amp;pcampaignid=web_share" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edgarmcbee.cusamobile&amp;pcampaignid=web_share</a><br />Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamedia" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamedia</a><br />Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/</a><br />Subscribe to our newsletter - <a href="https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cattleusa-drive-premium-daily-newsletter?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;brid=YWdncwFNXt0EmdzFy5cJJBp84J9g" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cat
