[QUOTE="hayray, post: 506479, member: 3046"] The NCBA reports that in the last year retail beef prices have only risen a mere 7% while other inputs have gone of in some cases almost 100%. Since my cost of finishing cattle has more then double because of corn prices which are 40% of my finishing cost per steer I would say it is well merited to raise prices based on the fact of the rise in corn prices. My projections for this year were based on $3.40 corn as last year that was the projection from the economist at extension that predict the markets. Today I am going to buy another 100 bushel at $5.25, last week I bought 111 bushel at $5.10/bushel. Unfortunatley I can't raise my beef prices anymore as beef is a luxary, not a necessity and I live in a state that has the worst economy in the country, my direct market sales are 500% less this year already then they were last year. High corn is killing me. [/QUOTE]
