Minnesota beef cow-calf producers earn record profits exceeding $600 per cow
Minnesota beef cow-calf producers earned more than $600 per cow in 2025, a sum that exceeds their combined earnings over the previous 20 years. This growth was driven by high prices for calves and cull cows alongside stable costs for feed and expenses. The increase in livestock profitability was part of a broader trend where the median net farm income for Minnesota farms rose to $66,518. This figure follows extremely low profit levels recorded in 2024. The data was released by the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.
