I don’t think confinement cows will ever be a very big part of the industry. Seems awfully inefficient to mechanically harvest feed then pack that feed to cows then haul the poop back out to the field where the feed came from. It’ll be hard for the confinement guys to compete on price with the guys who let the cow do all that work for them. I would think a 25% drop in feeder prices would shut down a lot of the confinement cow guys. Lots and lots of cow county ain’t great for hunting ain’t scenic and ain’t productive enough to grain farm.
But what if you had go out and buy a piece of land to run the cows on that cash flow is worse than putting up a building, just saying |
cows will be first to go under roof.
