BMR how does the cost of production compare to here for the cow calf producer? Do you know?

I don't know how close it it is. Probably differs more between some producers then between countries. Generally your land costs are higher but some places are more productive and less winter.
I would have to try and find some studies done here and you find some from your area.
Maybe a good project for us this winter. I'm sure TTB and Hanta could help us out from their areas. :)
Our land prices have sure got out of hand here at least. I remember a post from one of you wool under wearing neighbors to the north that said pick-ups were quite a bit higher. Just curious how much folding money difference there was between the two countries, if any. I'll look around down here and see if I can find any data for Arkanasas. Probably not but I can find something on chickens I bet if you're interested.

With our at "Par" dollar lots of people are looking south at newer used vehicles. They say big savings are to be had.

That's what I am thinking of doing.Don't forget your passport and buy a warranty when you get back...

Here's a publication from the U.of A. for 2006.

It doesn't look too good. I guess they are taking average cost of production across the state. It shows that we lose $110.88 per head. No wonder I don't have any money. :lol:

… The number of cattle in feedlots slumped 22% on quarter and 23% on year to 680,519 in the third quarter, according to a quarterly survey issued Monday by ALFA and marketing concern Meat & Livestock Australia Ltd. …

With this lack of supply--- and the increasing Aussie beef prices in the Asian markets--You'd think there would be a cry for TESTED US and Canadian beef-- if in their "infinite wisdom" our governments" had allowed some of the Packers (Creekstone/etal) that wanted to test, to do so.....
