[QUOTE="ROB, post: 506031, member: 3467"] auctionboy- as the previous thread was locked before i had an opportunity to respond, i will use this new thread as an opportunity to respond. You didn't seem to notice that i stated that [u]i needed to[/u] adjust my price 15 cents/lb. to accomodate a corn price increase of $2.00. i don't call that market driven. how long did it take for corn to go from $3 to $5? and in that timeframe, how many increases do you think there were in various sectors of the meat industry due to higher priced corn. are all these mark-ups justified? or are some of the sectors taking advantage-using the corn price increase as an excuse to fill their pockets??? [b]i havent raised my price yet[/b]. i would beg to differ that waiting up to 12 months to adjust my price - justifiably - could be construed as market driven. I know what my feed costs are going to be prior to feeding out, the corn for the most part is on hand, and i didn't feel justified putting the screws to my customers just because a lot of others are doing it. i make my money selling good beef, and i try my best to be honest and trustworthy in everything i do. my customers know what they will be paying for their beef (sometimes up to six months prior to taking possession). additionally, i will note that the animals are healthy, no bum legs, cancer eyes, abcesses, or anything else that would cause them to be docked at the salebarn should i choose to sell them in that fashion. if a customer would decide to come to the farm to choose their own animal- that is perfectly o.k. by me. i have nothing to hide, and encourage people to see how the animals are cared for, and the condition they are kept in.
