[QUOTE="csmfutures, post: 49526, member: 718"] A rancher is no different than feeders or the backgrounding ops. You have inputs and outputs equivallent to a cost per cow. The little ones should be figured on a cost per lb weaned, whether retained or marketed. Hedging comes in based on the weaned weight and the CME feeder contract. 50,000lbs. If you don't have 50,000 lbs, then a delta hedge is appropriate based on weight or numbers. I read recently that only 10% of cow/calf ops know there cost structure and cost per cow and weaned lb. That's scary. [/QUOTE]
