Haymaker keeps touting the merits of the Captive Supply Reform Act.
I have a question for all of you who think Captive Supplies are negatively impacting our cattle markets.
First remember the definition of captive supplies: those cattle owned or otherwise controlled by packers for more than 14 days prior to slaughter.
Considering that part of the captive supply reform act is to establish a base price on forward contracted cattle, can anyone tell me what percentage of "captive supply" cattle do not have a fixed base price?
Anyone?
Don't tell me you are blindly following the R-CALF/LMA pied pipers again!
