| We are a feedlot operation and feed over 12,000 hd a year, everyone along the beef sector from the cow/calf guy to the feedlot operator has to make money. Right now the cow/calf guy is making money, and needs to keep making money for more then a few yrs for the health of the beef industry. If we do not get this cow number turned around and get a expansion none of us feedlots guys will survive, because the supply is not going to be there. The ones taking the biggest piece of the pie have been the packers to the retailers, if you think anything different you need to lay of the kool-aid. |
