Last year's drought and high feed prices resulted in some leaving the cattle business. This year there is less beef production and prices are up. The shortage should continue through the first quarter of next year, and the markets continue to adjust. Meanwhile, global demand for beef is still strong. I have taken a long position in February Live Cattle Futures. Maybe the price of beef will go up a nickel a pound.
