[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1244822, member: 18945"] Not any different than any other part of agriculture CB. People were making $$ on beef when they had to drive them hundreds of miles to stockyards/feedlot. Your produce comes from the Valley or Calif, or Florida--your eggs are probably not locally laid either, and yet them producers are still making $ at it even factoring in the shipping costs. Loggers around here complain that all the sawmills and plywood mills shut down and they have to haul logs so far, but they are still at it every day. The logger takes a hit, and the landowner takes a hit, but they're both still making $. It's the same with beef. Maybe we won't make as much as when every medium sized town had a salebarn and there were lots of feedlots all over Texas, but the truth is, we've just been lucky it was this good for this long. Cow folks hate 2 things. They hate the way things are. and: They hate change. When change comes, everybody wrings their hands and cries the sky is gonna fall, but it never has. [/QUOTE]
