Opportunity knocks if you have the wherewithal to make it happen.  There is going to be a huge hole in feeders in a few months.  If the market does tank then a smart man is loading the boat.  I really doubt this is any surprise to the "men in the field".  Every order buyer I have talked to is very aware of the coming shortage of feeder cattle. So if this scares some paper cowboys out then I just look at it as a way to make some money off the "dumb money".
