$100 to $120 live weight three years ago.
And now you're talking about $165 to $180.
So much of that goes into location, where you're at, the type of animals you're buying.
But I mean, you're definitely seeing a large increase, you know, somewhere between 30 and 60% of an increase.
Can you cope with that kind of increase?
You know, I think that the packing portion of the supply chain could cope with it if the actual amount that you're getting for the animal, the meat, the revenue you're bringing in from the actual sale of all the products was in alignment with that increase.
Right now, that is not happening.
Three years ago, that market would have been $2.75.
Now, if you look at the beginning of this year, we were hovering around $3.62.
And this summer, we're sitting at about $4.60.
Now,
One would look at that and say, the price has gone up.
So how are you losing profitability wise?
But when you look at the actual cattle pricing that has increased, it has not necessarily increased at a rate to cover that.
That's where you start to see that we aren't able to make the money off of all of the finished products that we need to cover the costs of the actual live animal.

We're trying to figure out how to be more efficient because many of us are running at a lower capacity in our plant than what it's meant for because we simply cannot get the cows because there's a cattle shortage.
My plant can do 425 to 450 a day.
