[QUOTE="hornedfrogbbq, post: 1578372, member: 32773"] We see most good cattle buyers looking at the cattle like a call option. They pay what they would get if they walk the steer/cow/bull over to the local processor and got paid that day...usually slightly less to pay them a penny or two for their troubles. So they have downside protection. Then they try and go add value. That could be weight. That could be breeding them. Something so that they make more money, net, than they have in them. A profit. We rarely see someone pay much more than slaughter value for something that is risky. [/QUOTE]
