[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1442264, member: 498"] OK, I said find your unfair advantage so here are a couple of mine. This is an isolated market that doesn't get enough cattle to fill a pot every week. As a result cattle are generally 20 cents under the real market. So buy cheap and ship them to somewhere that pays real market price. There are thousands and thousands of acres of irrigated hay raised for the export market. They don't take hay that is slightly off. So that hay can be bought cheap. Why spend time and money when there is a reliable source of good cow hay. There is a sweet corn processing plant near me. For 2 to 2 1/2 months of the year they haul off a number of truck loads every day of cobs, husks, and waste corn. Cows love it and it can be bought cheap. Either feed it fresh or put into a silage pit. Again it is a reliable source available every year. Those are examples of my unfair advantage. I don't know your area so I don't know what your unfair advantage might be. [/QUOTE]
