[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1386482, member: 1682"] All about buyers. Southern Ontario is the equivalent of feeding in IA, IN, IL, etc. Lots of corn and lots of small feedlots. Probably 1/2 or better of the cattle in Canada are fed there. Majority of Ontario calves, a good chunk of Frenchie calves and a bunch of Western cattle are fed there. Even when you figure a freight bill of over $.10/lb to haul them from Manitoba to those feedlots, they still outbid American orders on a regular basis. Nobody knows how they make them pencil and no one cares. A good chunk of my calves have traditionally been bought on order for Amish families in the Ottawa Valley (Bez's stomping grounds). Apparently those Amish love to feed good Hereford steers and I love their money. :D [/QUOTE]
