[QUOTE="mwj, post: 185902, member: 491"] Andybob the biggest prob. that I see with your scenerio is the lack of forage. As has been stated on the board many times we are in the buisness of marketing forage. If we have to buy all of the forage inputs it eats into the profit. A lot of the cattle in this country utalize forage growing in small or odd areas. The big operators would need it to be in large blocks so it could be managed easily. This still leaves the door open for the majority of the cattlemen in this country. If the packers do this on a big scale my guess is they would do it in Brazil where they can control huge tracts of grazing land with a mild climate and cheap labor. [/QUOTE]
