[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1706515, member: 39695"] Has everyone been living under a rock?! This isn't new. It's been going on since the Chicago Stockyards were built. Cattle feeders have historically had the smallest profit margins. That's why so few of us do it. And don't think the best industry is the first sector of Ag to go through this. Just ask someone who used to raise broilers or any farmer in the Midwest that used to raise hogs outside. It's not going to change, and the last thing we want is more gov regulations in our industry. Maybe you'll get $2/lb for fat cattle, but if the gov needs $.90 for environmental concerns. Then we are worse off than we are now. [/QUOTE]
