Cattle prices

Sadly in saskatchewan there is no large feedlots or slaughterhouses.

There should be but it's not happening.

And won't with a declining herd.

Good prices but the industry has some issues.

bucket...no expert here but you got to think feeding economics have to be better today than in the past. Todays energy and transportation costs are opportunity dollars to capture.
Doesnt matter if herd declining and producers don't enter the industry. Maybe stupid profitability will be the catalyst...maybe economics of grain will force some hands...but speaks of the bigger problem hanging over the industry...cultural is a good term Charlie used...nobody wants to do the dirty work. Maybe different in other areas or provinces.
Is interesting to observe the reactions-moods at the ground level.
