@PanhandleFlash7 @KINGS1973 If TX is quarantined can we take TX direct out of the feeder cattle index?

@jcraikes @SawyerWhisler Which of the 3 are you?

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@GGunthorp @ckleene Nearly every cow is calved outside. Wouldn’t disease be less if given 160 acres and an A frame?

Scale could be massive, but not going to happen.

How many owners birth their own calf compared to owners birth their own pigs.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

Pork industry is worried about prop 12, the real problem is consumers don’t buy pork.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp How do we know? It isn’t done at scale. Would hardier breeds bring better meat quality. Obviously less pork on the market would be positive for prices.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp I think that production system would take more husbandry and would be harder for vertical integration

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp Would pork be a better business, product and industry if all sows farrowed outside? I think yes.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp Thanks for your convo @ckleene !!!!

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp When you have the whole supply chain represented by 10 boards it makes the whole supply chain stale.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp Pork needs to distance itself from chicken and add marbling and eating experience like beef. The pork industry needs to take a chapter on value marketing like the beef guys did 25-30 years ago.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp When I load the nose of the Lvst trailer with steers it is worth more than nearly the whole semi of fat hogs

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@ckleene @GGunthorp Google tells me beef is 56-57 lbs and pork is 51.

@jasonlbritt I’m thinking about borrowing against my wife’s 401k then levering it up at the Feedyard. Cattle will never go down.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@jwilgenburg1 @laurenpayne2012 I get that steer wts are getting bigger but a rallying grain complex will solve that.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@jwilgenburg1 @laurenpayne2012 If adoption is near 80-90% and the dairy cow herd is flat (250k expansion is 2.5 days kill) then how will it effect live prices going forward?

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@jwilgenburg1 @laurenpayne2012 Are dairy guys keeping their cows longer so they don’t have to replace with hfrs as fast considering the bull calves value?

What % of dairies are using sexed semen with beef genetics?

Thankyou. I’m learning.

[James Holz @cattleandcorn]

@FDGenetics Do you haul the chute with the semi?
