[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 496414, member: 1604"] If the small cattlemen don't start joining forces (pooling cattle, etc.) and putting together truckload lots of feeders he will be forced to be pricetakers to a much more degree, IMHO. Feeder calf numbers at the sale barn have declined tremendously in the past twenty years due to direct sales. They're just a place to move a small group of calves quick and for culls down here nowdays. I hated it when the cull cow packing plant here closed down. I could cut the sale barn out of his commission and buy a few more gallons of fuel. [/QUOTE]
