[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 759901"] This economic fiasco is what got me into raising cattle for my own table, and to be honest has saved my tail. Being self employed I saw this coming years before it hit, so I bought in the sticks, where I could raise a few head. Then the crap hit. My business dropped 50 percent, but I have been able to hang in there because I raise my own food and make a lot of my own fuel. If not for those 2 facts, I probably would have lost everything. It saved me that much and I sold off my excess meat for a decent profit. Around here more and more people are doing what I have, and instead of just having land to look at they are buying cattle and letting the land work for them$ this is causing the price of calves in the 350 to 400 lb range to sell in the 1.25/lb range for the last 3 years. That's why I started to raise my own calves, cutting my cost outlay even further. So, around here cattle prices have been going up, at least as far as I can see. I will reserve my opinions on ethanol out of respect for all the corn farmers on the board [/QUOTE]
