Larry,
I don't know what's causing it, but I do know two things.
First, the price of beef is lower in the grocery stores.
Second, I'm getting much less for the calves that I sell at the sale barn. I have a relatively small cow/calf operation in Middle Tennessee. I sell black Angus calves that are seven months old. They range from 450 lbs. to 550 lbs. I'm getting about $.75 to $.80 per pound. Two years ago, those calves were selling for $1.00 - $1.10 per pound.
No matter what the market does, the "smart" people have some lame excuse for what the market is doing. I don't know what's going on.
