July 2011 corn at 6.95 and beans at 14.56. Is $7 and $15 possible and what will passing these points do to cattle prices?
What do you think they are planning to do with all those soybeans?kenny thomas":63rjd058 said:July 2011 corn at 6.95 and beans at 14.56. Is $7 and $15 possible and what will passing these points do to cattle prices?

Low numbers can't support all the infrastructure and its just a matter of time before the domino effect picks up speed. Less stockyards,less backgrounders,less feedlots,less processors. I see long term contracts for delivery in the future, as competition for available calves heats up.

I sold a darned good years worth of calves for .28/lb after Nixon put those price controls on. The price had been above .50 before controls.
I see a lot of the same patterns in place, but, history never repeats exactly.

Higher the feed cost go the less cows there will be- cattle will only be on land that is good for nothing else or right next to a high moisture by product.
I had to read that more than once but how are you going to put cattle on scrapapple land? Do you need some for all these cows you propose? We got some cheap land here in texas that might meet your expectations.......
shortage in cattle= price staying high(although I don't really think the price of cattle is comparably all that high)
Compared to what? New Dually's?
