That's an option.

But local packing companies that slaughter beef are booked solid into 2022 a few months right now.

Unless you have the knowledge and equipment to kill, hang and process beef, it brings you back to square one.


Everybody around here is booked at least a year out. Several outfits have stopped taking wild game.

I do suspect that the high prices of grain and hay make finishing a beef quite a bit more expensive right now. I’d be pretty careful with how many head I’d put on feed right now, if I were in the feedlot business. Easy to buy high and end up selling into a future low.
