WTOK on Market Crash
It has happened before! When a bunch of upset cowboys came together and made a big fuss about a cattle market crash, the market temporarily got higher.
After more than a hundred concerned cattlemen gathered for an OCM presentation on the present contrived cattle market crash in Bay Springs, Mississippi on November 15st , a retired USDA AMS employee called and said that he believed the market moved upward in response to the R-CALF meetings in the Dakotas and OCM’s meetings in the South. That may or may not be true, but there is a promising and ongoing series of meeting to rally cattlemen to address this totally unjustified market situation. Every cow-calf operator out there has taken a $500 per head hit and needs to help.
