[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1721643, member: 32659"] Oh well if they are at 26% we should definitely fight to have the government regulate them. Or maybe we should find out what their doing and implement it in our own business. I listened to a man say he sold 2 400# steers for $650 each the other day. He was happy with that but then started in on the packers. Those steers didn't go to a packer. They probably got sold 3 more times before they went to a feedlot and then to a packer and from there to grocer who sold it. All parties involved were trying to make money. I had around $600 a had in my yearlings last year. That's raising them from babies to backgrounding them for 6 months. The steers brought $1,237.50 at the sale. That's a touch over 26% , should I be regulated? I'm not saying the packers are on the up and up but everyone looks through the one way window and thinks the next guy is killing it without knowing what's going on. The main thing that bothers me though is people complaining but not putting in the time and effort to improve or being scared to hang it out there and gamble it all to better themselves. Some people sit on the couch because their lazy and some can sit on the couch because they put their time in. I've ask on here several times what an acceptable per hd profit is but I've never got a real answer. [/QUOTE]
