[QUOTE="chaded, post: 1706609, member: 33922"] The other problem is (at least for me) when the cattle need to go they need to go. I can’t set them on a shelf and hold out. I have a little wiggle room but eventually I’m taking them in and getting my beating. It seems to me that the packers will just say “fine, sit on your cattle we will just buy more cheap imports.” Im really small time and not even a drop in a bucket really so I don’t really know how it all works. I have thought that for me if i want a better price I’m probably going to have to fence in one of my fields so i have an area to raise up calves and go direct. I have people asking about it all the time but then there is increased cost, increased risk, dealing with people, etc. and is it worth it? [/QUOTE]
