Record 2023 fat prices have not resulted in record feeder prices. Scott Brown just published an article for The Farmer explaining how it is different this time. Corn dropped from U$S 7.04 in early 2013 to $ 3.65 by end of 2014. So feedlots were able to pay more for feeders in 2014, compared to today.
Since feedlot cost of gain is high - - grazing yearlings or stockers should be very profitable for operators with LRP. That kind take less labor than pairs but more capitol. Which works better for you?
