[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1815579, member: 39695"] It may not take that long. I sold a load of fats for a feedlot today. Talking to the cattle buyer about prices and delivery dates. He said they are cutting hours at the plant because they have a surplus of retail product and the packers are saying that they are losing money. I’ve been saying for two years that we were going to price ourselves out of our market share. Other animal proteins are less expensive. In the current economic state of most middle class and low income families will buy more chicken or pork. I don’t care how few cows are in the country. If the packers start bidding less than the feed lots cost of production, the feeders will have to start paying less for calves/yearlings. It won’t take long for the dominos to fall in a hurry.
