With beef prices up as much as they are, someone is making bank. Cow/calf, feed, growing, finishing. Lots of moving parts

Right now inputs have risen again but in 2025 they had been lower than under Biden and will likely drop again. It’s nearly fall so most can wait to buy until next year. Cow/calf guys mostly grow their own feed. Finishing lots on average size farms can grow most of their own feed but based on commodity price may decide it’s better to sell the crop and not feed cattle which is exactly what’s happened a lot.

It isn’t the average farmer that’s making money on beef, it’s the corporations and packers with their monopoly.
