The Far East...of Nebraska. | I stay up to date on prices, feed, etc. (well somewhat). I've ran numbers on the hoop building that hold 180-200 hogs, way cheaper than a normal building. You'd have to build quite a few, but I would own the hogs. If the breakeven a weren't where I want them, I'd let the hoops sit. I know this sounds simple, I would just want to finish hogs, which would lead me to getting in trouble with my sources if I didn't want any hogs for awhile. Why don't people use options, forward contract, etc? If there is a profit there, fill the barn, if a certain loss isn't acceptable, don't. Wouldn't that even out the swings? Don't be too harsh on me, but I agree with the original poster. If I'm already breaking ice for cows on stalks, feeding steers, what's one more chore? |
