[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1244358, member: 694"] Not really as 7 dollar a pound hamburger is not sustainable in this economy. We are not the only protein source in 2000 we were almost having to pay the barn to take the cattle. Wasn't uncommon for a 1200 lb cow to bring 300 dollars. The market was showing signs of strengthening and prices were coming up then in 2006 ethanol hit driving corn prices up and feeders down. Again this an artificial high due to drought in the mid west beef country . Now California millions of dairy hamburger lbs have come off the market with the drought out west. Those people will restock and those bull calves will enter the market driving prices down. We are a slow moving industry providing 1 product a year if lucky from the cow. The Chicken is producing a product a day to 21 days. The Sow three litters a year both of these industries are riding a high as well filling our void right now. To grow we have to remove product from the market not so with poultry or swine. [/QUOTE]
