[QUOTE="OhioRiver, post: 486563, member: 7259"] I have talked to about 20 or so producers in the last month. About half of them expect profits in the coming year and the other half no profit or red numbers. Some talked about the govt keeping prices down to keep the economy from not swinging a meat preference away towards fish or chicken per se. Are there too many cattle producers now. Should the government only buy from select licensed chains or organizations that license and play their game. I cannot see the average Joe wanna be Angus producer continuing to lose money. The popularity has trickled down well into the local grocery stores and product lines helping ad placement for consumers, however, do the prices make sense for investment and time allocated to each head per se per year. I have found that side marketing is the only way to go for your quality product to add extra revenue throughout the year at farmers markets or other smaller venues of less commercial value per se. I have not raised a single black angus yet, but have plans to start out in the spring with ET. Is private treaty strong enough to move most of the seedstock one raises? :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: [/QUOTE]
