[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1766809, member: 42715"] Check out Sonne farms on YouTube, and think about how northern cattle always grade better. You are right to a point, except those a guys will sell grain and feed cattle. They do it for the diversification option. But this year many have said that feeding cattle is a loser. But they are not actually bleeding cash, just making less. Also, they can wet harvest corn that wouldn’t yield well and make a bit back by feeding it as part of silage, which helps. By this method and by rotating their crops, haying, and feeding cattle, somehow they make the whole worth more than the sum of the parts. My only point is that if you are a farmer feeder and grow corn, you tend to get a discount on your grain that won’t put you under if you have to feed. If you have to buy it on the open market, it’s harder to stay afloat in a hard year. [/QUOTE]
