[QUOTE="ManyHorses, post: 59157, member: 1016"] One other thought... I'm expert enough on this subject that I'm writing a book on trading meats and grains, geared towards the rancher and farmer...and in the book I say... "Sometimes it's a lot easier to control 40,000# of cattle from my keyboard than it is to have 'em standing there looking at you"! I reguarly to the salebarns and see all these guys buying cow/calf combos, feeders and stockers at outrageous prices just to 'stay in business' over the winter months.... doomsday thinking! If they knew how, they'd do better hedging cattle on their keyboards rather than risking their capital and doing all that work out in the 'north forty'. Again, hope this helps, Richard [/QUOTE]
