What farmer still owns the feeders after he sells them? I’ve never heard of that but it may be true.
He pays the feed lot to finish them and then sends a truck or the feed lot arranges a truck to get to a packing plant. It is a good way to lose money. Some cattle owners around here went bust in the 1970s and 80s doing that. They had feeder calves they could have sold at a profit but retained ownership to the feed lot and sold at a $200 to $300 loss due to feeding expense coupled with a serious price drop.
