[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 615548, member: 9043"] I have noticed a lot of ups and downs in “natural beef” but dose depend on how far your leg is in the door of the company your using to how stable the demand is. I deal direct with purchasing of then one natural beef company. When I first started with them my cows were on the lower end of there standard but was able to sell them a full semi loads at a time so I got a contract. I worked with them to improve my offspring to meet there needs. Every year I get with my buyer and hand over all the calf’s records. They come out about a week latter and hand pick what they will take. They get sorted into 2 groups and get retagged with there tags. I retain ownership till processing and sometimes stay on my land for up to 60 days. They will schedule loads by what group they want at the time. My buyer sends me us Christmas and birthday cards and has been known to call and ask how his kids are doing a few times a year. There prices and demand do swing but not like the cattle market. With what I have left do use to 2 other companies I don’t see the demand from. I have tried to work with both of them to find out why I don’t fit better into there programs to do more sales but the just run me around the bush. They don’t seam to be picky on what they take and I’m on the lower end of the pricing. I’m making money off what I sell to them but not as much as my primary contract. I do see a larger swing in demand and price then my other contract but not nearly as bad as the cattle market. Hey cattlepower will sent PM soon… [/QUOTE]
