Question for the Feedlot folks

[rain]

Cowman when barley was $3.50 delivered corn was not $1.85.

I work in south america 3-6 weeks a year and I assume the steaks are grass fed BUT they are damn good. I am in the us 8-16 weeks each winter and the meat is generally tough, tasteless and overpriced. I have been told you have to cook grass fed at lower temps but I dont know for sure.

[cakadu]

Correct Ron. You have to cook it slower and/or with some sort of liquid because there isn't the fat content so it has to be kept moist somehow. Same goes for buffalo, wild meat and anything else that is lean.

Actually rain my neighbor sold barley to Western Feedlots at $3.53 with the plumpness bonus factored in at the same time they were quoting corn landed in Lethbridge at $1.85.

Corn never came into lethbridge at $1.85. $3.53 barley is $162/MT corn was always with in $5-$10 per metric tonne of barley that year above and below barley
