[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1180121, member: 14878"] Money can be made in that scenario. It's all about inputs though. The struggle of the direct marketer today is opportunity lost. Calves at 6 months sell for Grand or more. Or you hold onto them for another year and a half to squeeze 700 more. Issue is where do you push the customer out by being more expensive than the store? And if beef goes down again the direct marketer looks like a genius again while most are back to complaining. Just remember everybody is a genius in this market who have cattle to sell. But who is the real genius when the market drops and one owns their customer and price? Also local processing can vary from 350 per head to over 700 depending on area. [/QUOTE]
