-I always wondered if a guy could take 50 bushel of corn per calf and use the corn instead of the feeder board as a way to hedge calfs that are on the cow-
So if corn goes down .50 you're "protected" from losing $25???
If a guy is going to use the board to "protect" himself wouldn't using the commodity your raising be a smarter move?
Just looking for different ideas Jim-the feeder board seems to be less used-I guess no different then buying natural gas on the board to hedge nh3-which has not worked lately
should a cow man pay attention to corn price?
