[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 665777, member: 7856"] Plumber__Greg- I think Dun is talking about the price protection of puts and calls. By using this you can lock in the original value of the calves going to the feedyard so that you will not be "open" if the cattle market dumps while the calves are being fed. You can even be more aggressive and work for price protection for the finished cattle for the same reason.By using these options you still maintain ownership and then when you deliver the cattle to the rail you offset the options and realize any gain of lack there of against your actual sales receipts. I realize this may not be the info you originally asked for but sometimes (actually most times) if you cover the financial aspects of the cattle business it allows you time to fine tune the husbandry side. Each side of the feeding equation has equal impact on your long term ability to stay in the cattle business. I think you are headed in the correct way and good luck to you. JLP [/QUOTE]
