roo - 1/12/2026 13:44 Watching video sales this last week and today and it looks like most feeders walking out of the sale ring are starting with a $3-400/hd loss. Betting the come or just getting in now cause they heard cattle are money makers? I've never seen it like this.
im a little slow when reading cattle jargon. What are you saying to a kindergartner so he understands? I take it fats were a money loser after paying too much as feeders? Am I close or way off?



If you buy feeder cattle, buy your feed and hedge the fat cattle on the same day you’d be looking at a $350/head loss.   

Cattle guys have always bet on the come, this is nothing new.    But just like land prices the numbers get even further apart and dumber every year. 

Ok, now that makes sense.
