      abstract = {Feeder-calf prices are determined by the interaction of  many factors. This study uses transaction
data from Iowa  preconditioned and regular feeder-calf auction sales to  quantify the impact of a
wide variety of factors, several  of which have not been used in previous studies on  feeder-calf
prices. Notably, market premiums for  preconditioned sales versus regular sales, feedlot  capacity
utilization, and seller reputation are found to be  significant factors affecting feeder-calf prices.
Estimated  coefficients are then used to predict prices to demonstrate  how this information can be
used in making management and  marketing decisions.},
