Larry goodman is supposed to be buying alot of angus & hereford calves this weather. Being reared by farmers & then back to him. What will end up of that?! Lads like him running the beef industry take every bit of profit they can get.
Send it on down to me I'll find a hole here for it:D
Get hold of the benchmarking results for the enterprises your interested in, these give a good indication of what is being achieved and what can be achieved. Not motivational reading I'm afraid by large.
Isn't that the general idea of running a business?
You don't hear dairy farmers complain as much as beef farmers.
My head was sore listening to crying dairy farmers through the naughties when milk was below the cost of producton.
At a guess id say the beef factories are operating on a margin of around 5% to 7%.
