[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 674877, member: 7645"] Busterz is right. With a declining cattle population the packers are perennially chasing cattle to fill shackle space. One packer COULD decide to pay big premiums to producers that bought composite bulls from XYZ ranch; BUT could they really convince their grocer and restaurant buyers to pay more than what the packer on the other side of the state is charging for all the other cattle (he paid less for)?? Really to implement this system the three biggest packers would have to collude (probably illegal). [/QUOTE]
