[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 615204, member: 8978"] Sorry, one more thought. If a feeder pig has a feed conversion rate of 3 to 1 and barley costs 7 cents a pound then it costs 21 cents to produce a pound of pork? If a chicken converts 2 to 1 the cost is 14 cents a pound of chicken? Feeder cattle are around 6 or 7 to 1 so cost of putting on a pound of beef would be 42 cents or so? Not familiar with corn but it would be the same ratio. What happens if corn or barley become very expensive? If corn doubles in price which sector of the meat industry is the least effective...from a grain useage point of view? Which sector will be most able to bid up the price of grain? I think we all can understand why more and more pounds are being put on beef through grass. It might be the only way we'll compete in the meat market. [/QUOTE]
