[QUOTE="BrazosBottomHand, post: 1688475, member: 26764"] I’ve got some experience using futures and options and I don’t like them much. They never seem to work like they are supposed to for me. I would say that they are a good tool if you really know what you are doing, but most of us don’t. The broker always makes it sound simpler than it is. There is a “basis risk” no one ever talks about, which basically means the risk that your hedges aren’t working like they are supposed to. Forward contract your cattle and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
