Northern Minnesota | Cornstalk1 - 3/24/2020 11:42 If you add up all of the expenses of an animal from birth to harvest very seldom does everybody make money. Cow Calf. commission, trucking feedlot, trucking, packer. Somebody will win and somebody will loose in this unintegrated arrangement.
Packer, especially since there are only four, controls the buying of the animal and selling of the meat. Plus they can import if they want. Packer doesn't "loose". |
Cattle feeders quit complaining
