re: Beef prices and farmers...

I found my break even at about 75 head. I have a little over 250 now. You can scratch out a living but it would be hard. I supplement that with row crop and some produce. Funny thing is I might make 25 grand a year doing all that. Most of my expense is payroll cause I actually work a regular job and have to hire out labor. The repeal of the COOL act in 2015 is what is killing the little man right now.
