[QUOTE="Jake, post: 513486, member: 4"] Here in the states it's becoming very obvious that the packers no longer want these monsterous carcasses. They are docking carcasses that are too big and paying a premiuim for the smaller fatter carcasses. A big reason for the fatier carcasses being a premium is that animal fat is now being turned into biodiesel and is trading right around the $.50 mark where a year ago it was $.07. If input cost continue to rise a smart rancher is not going to be able to feed the larger higher input cattle. In our area and northward we're seeing a huge trend in reducing frame size and producing more maternally based cattle that can handle their own with little to no supplementation. [/QUOTE]
