Not much there, just some numbers.
And my take, which is far from an expert.
This kind of move is what hurts the little guys.
The guys that sell once a yr or twice a yr.
The ones in the market every week or every month
can insulate themselves with a good average.
Growing up farrow to finish in the 80's and through the 90's
dad was in the market every 7-10 days selling fats.
Made a world of difference.
I don't believe all is lost.
Just the traders holiday confidence.
I usually sell my feeders in mid to late DEC.
I can hold out till FEB, then i need the pen for calving.
I have as much to lose as anyone.
Edit- I have a friend who has about 10k of fats.
He bought more on the board today. He has been long,
so margin calls have been the order of the day.
Definitely a long term play.
Why in the world would he be long, with that many cattle on hand. He’s prolly checking out very tall structures about now. He best have lotsa whiskers, cuz they’re gettin’ trimmed pretty hard. Can’t imagine an ass beating like that. |
Cash cattle reaction today??
