They use mostly Charolais and
exotic crosses as such breeds are
more easily adaptable to market
conditions.
Even so, the animals move in and
out of the Bennett operation at a rapid
pace as they are shipping out 45 to 47
weeks per year and are receiving
cattle about 30 weeks per year. That
helps to avoid getting caught with all
cattle being shipped during a drop in
the market.
Tn the past couple of weeks, prices
for feeder cattle have risen sharply
to between 80 and 90 cents a
pound from several months at about
70 cents a proud. The Bennetts built
during the down time and are ready
to capitalize when prices rise. But as
Ron says, when the price of the fat
cattle rises, so does the cost of
yearlings. With the large operation,
the Bennetts arc positioned with
enough flexibility to ride the
sometimes volatile beef market. But
Ron says their large operation isn't
all that much different than the
farmer with 100 acres down the road.
"Bennett Farms is a large farm,
but it is run by families who just keep
working along and doing our job," he
said.0
