RE: 2 Minutes with the Farmer: Ups and Downs of the Cattle Market!!!
I am commenting here, because my comments do not seem to appear of DTube.
The cattle business is very interesting. It does seem silly that "future" prices affect the price for your cattle today.
It is WRONG that someone else is making the buttload of money. You are the prime producer. The gains should go to you. Not someone who adds
"no value."
I could not agree more with you! Thanks for the comment
One of my first jobs ever was as a rancher and butcher on my grandpa's farm. It was a good job. Now that I considering another business, this idea of raising and selling cattle keeps coming back to mind. I am seriously considering it. I am in a much more different market though.
Raising cattle is a great job. Where are you from?
I am from Roatan, Honduras. One of the Bay Islands of Honduras.
But the cattle is maintained on the mainland of Honduras (cheaper costs).
We historically have raised all grass-fed brahmas and pardos, a couple of other breeds too, but they have to stand the heat well.
That is neat. We just started trying South Poll Cattle. They do well in the heat. But I am sure you guys have a lot more heat than us
