[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 531004, member: 6980"] Same here. Much more profitable selling for freezer beef. And when you think about it, the more we cultivate our freezer beef market, the less we have to sell at the stockyard. The more customers that we have for our freezer beef, the fewer customers the feedlots/packers have. My few cows that I sell won't have any effect on their operations, but you add my few, your few, a few here, a few there, and before long, we're talking some numbers. Next thing you know, a few cows add up to thousands..... $10.00 lb steak in the grocery store vs. 65 cent on the hoof? Seems that there is a little markup in there somewhere that's not going to the farmer/rancher. The stockyards/packers have a vested interest in making sure that we go thru their system in order to bring the products to market. That being said, if they want me to go thru their system, then they need to pay me a fair price. Otherwise, I won't play with them. :D I'm just glad today that I'm not selling 13 cent per lb. hogs..... :D [/QUOTE]
