Tablerock Ranch eastern Wa | $3100 dollar fats gets the checkbook out on the day you sell fats for a bunch of cattle purchased over the last 18 months. The purchase price of cattle the last few years and inability to hedge anywhere close to a breakeven, makes it hard to protect against a substantial loss. $3100 ? I will sell a pen the end of the month that averaged almost $2800 when bought... feed, meds and 8 months in the feedlot, and I wonder if I am making money at $3600. |
