2.00 corn isn't that cheap .polledbull":3mrn2xr9 said:I am from NC and I know for a fact of a few small operations finishing cattle now and selling them as fat steers in PA. Corn is cheap here, $2.02 per bushel . Local supply for beanmeal soypellets and gluton . I cant see any reason it cant be done here as well as anywhere.

Larry are you trying to tell us that there are no pocessors in the Eastern states.If so you fit in this same category as the ones that say you can't finish cattle in North Carolina. They are as full of cra'p as a Thanksgiving turkey too.Larry Sansom":3o6exfkc said:Finishing is one thing - processing is another. Who are you going to sell to? Processors are out west - and fuel cost will kill you shipping that far on fat cattle.
There are.ollie'":2pvyj56o said:The fifth largest packer, Smithfield, has one of their largest packing plants in Wisconsin . I am sure there are small packing plants in NC.
Wrong. Don't like turkeys at all. Especially ones full of crap.flaboy+":2y04m60k said:Ya gotta love la4angus, he just loves those Turkey's that are full of crap. :lol: :shock:
Yes - I am telling HIM to check and make sure - I have to take my direct marketed cattle for a 2 hour ride to get to a USDA custom packer. There are NO Large Processors in KY. If you have some in your area -GREAT- you can finish cattle anywhere - but only a dumb ass turkey would finish something he can not sell to a buyer that can accept the volume he can finish. My processor is limited on cooler space - so I understand the issues. It is quite a ride to Wisconsin. I know there are Hog processors in his area- but Cattle?????la4angus":3arwbn2i said:Larry are you trying to tell us that there are no pocessors in the Eastern states.If so you fit in this same category as the ones that say you can't finish cattle in North Carolina.
