[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 50865, member: 245"] I guess like alot of other producers, I don't want to risk my money when times are bad. My wife is currently back in school, so the cattle were supposed to be my 2nd source of income. That really hasn't panned out as well as I had hoped. LOL. It seems that every dollar I get is already earmarked for frivolous stuff like food and shelter and feed to get my cattle through the winter. We're trying to make it through this schooling and BSE thing without accumulating any more debt than necessary. My oldest son is also in university this year and although he is fairly independent, he needs the odd transfusion of cash as well. You are right that we usually send at least one or two older cows for hamburger every year but that stuff is an easy sell to city people when you explain that it is grass finished on land that hasn't had any chemicals applied on it in over 15 years. Its about as close to organic as they come. Yet in some ways, I feel obligated to help get that plant up and running. On the other hand, if the Japanese move that $40 million plant in like they are talking about, then this Ranchers Choice plant probably won't work. [/QUOTE]
