So are you saying the SCALE of production, changing from 40 to 1000 cow dairies and changing from 50 beef in an Iowa farm lot with a lean-to shed (or 1800 head in Garvo's sheds) to 50,000 or 100,000 head in an open western feedlot changes the cattle from being LIVEstock to a being an "ECONOMIC COMMODITY" like #2 corn?
He’s saying that if a guy with 100 cows loses a cow it’s 1%
If a feedlot with 50,000 head on feed loses 500 it’s still 1%
There’s 13 million head of cows, calves and feedlot cattle in Texas….
