[QUOTE="dun, post: 1099071, member: 34"] I'm not sure at what point I would start trying to explain but here are my thoughts. Cow is bred, 9 month later she calves Calf is weaned at around 6 /2 mnths and is sold to a finsiher or a backgrounder that feeds them and prepares them to go to a finisher (feed lot) From feed lot to slaughter Slaughter to processor that cuts the carcass for sale to the wholeslae distributor Wholesale distributor to the reatailer Each step they hope to make money, cow calf producer probably the least Feed, health, handling, infrastructure, permits, labor, insurance all along the way add to the cost. The retailer probably makes the third least in actual profit after the original producer and the feeder [/QUOTE]
