SH, "Which of the following senerios (sp?) do you believe is more accurate?
1. When packers have better margins they pay more for cattle.
2. When packers are losing money they pay more for cattle. "
Why continue to harp on this? We all KNOW that packers will do whatever they can in order to pay as little as possible for cattle regardless of margins just as any other business would do regarding raw materials.
They don't tithe, SH.
