Yeh, so what's your point Oldtimer.....assuming you have one?

Keep this in mind, the Pickett era showed a $16 per head profit. THAT WAS IN THEIR BEST YEARS. Their average would certainly be lower than that but let's analyze that $16 per head and see how it affects you and I as cattle producers.

Tyson sells everything from the tongues to the rectums while the local locker plants pay someone to haul the ofal away. The more the packers can sell the carcass and by products for and the less per head profit margin they can operate under, the more they can and do return to producers.

So your point is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what their total profit is to an individual producer, the issue is how much can they pay producers, how tight is their PER HEAD profit margin, and how much can they sell the beef and beef by products for and pay you accordingly??

Do you want packers to lose money? Then where will your cattle market be??
