[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 501311, member: 171"] This is bugging me so I got to get it off my chest. I feed around 200 head of registered Brangus. Bulls on test,heifers,cows,recips, everything we do at the farm. My feed bill is crazy. this isnt about if feeding is the thing to do or not, if your in the registered business, your feeding or your getting left behind. My gripe is feed goes up every stinking month. The fertilizer,desiel,corn, grain spike seems to have stabalized. My feed per ton has almost doubled since last year. I could see the price adjust when all these commodities went up. But the feed keeps going up and those prices seem to stabalize since they started going up. Nothing that goes into making the product has gone up enough to warrant my feed going up 50%. i know eggs,milk,and meat went up a little but only once and it is fairly stable. What the heck gives. Its like the feed stores bring it up every month to see what price we will pay. I know danm good and well that there production cost have not doubled but my feed sure has. why does it continue to rise when the other inputs havent. You cant keep paying double your feed bill when the price of cattle hasnt doubled or even gone up much. We also have to pay the high fuel,fertilizer,feed prices and then were also getting it double by the feed companies. Surely im not the only one to gripe and notice this. [/QUOTE]
