RE: 2 Minutes with the Farmer: Ups and Downs of the Cattle Market!!!
Wow! A drop by $4+? In the grain market, I’m used to hearing my husband say the market went up or down by the cents! Right now, they aren’t doing great either.
We get our beef right from a local farmer here in MN. So much better than the grocery store. And we get all sorts of cuts:ground, steaks, etc. The average price per pound for all of it is $4 something. Great deal for quality meat.
I know those middlemen can make things more convenient for everyone, but convenience comes with a price tag sadly.
You are so right about the middle man. Were you guys able to get all your crops in the ground this year?
We were! But it was a dry summer, so the wheat didn't meet it's full potential. The other crops look like they will do well though.
