Tend-R-Leen^® Tech Report

Volume 16 Number 85 January 2008

Can I still make money with $4.00 corn?

Also read: Winter bedding management

The answer is yes. Conservative economic projections show that even when corn is $4.00/bu. there is profit opportunity there. Consider this:

·         At the time of this printing, Holstein cash price is around $0.78/lb. and December ’08 futures are around $0.85.

·         Bull calf prices have dropped dramatically the last several months.

·         Beef exports continue to increase as closer BSE monitoring is in effect and more countries lift trade restrictions. Domestic consumption also continues to increase.

·         The United States produces the highest quality beef in the world. Plus by feeding Holstein steers on whole shell corn and Tend-R-Leen, our feed efficiency is among the best in the world.
