[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 693641, member: 1715"] The big thinkers expect a long term boom in commodity prices due to population growth and standard of living expectations. Certainly there is a boom today in K prices, fencing material, seed, lime... The current issue is these higher input costs is the contrast with lower demand for meat and milk in North America. Value of gain has been trending down and I estimate that it is in the $0.65 to 0.75 per pound range here for heavy yearlings. Judy Greg thinks the cattleman' advantage is being able to produce beef with "no inputs." I am not there but I am buying in less each year. I am currently going through my reciepts and laying out a budget for 10/1/09 to 10/1/10. Cost control is not fun but that is where I need to focus right now. [/QUOTE]
