Profitability Indicators. Cattle/Corn Ratio Remains Above Long Run Trend

Long run ratio of 30

(cattle price $/cwt divided by corn price in $/bushel) Assume corn price in 2018 of $3.75 (current futures) 30 * 3.5 = $112/cwt fed cattle However, strong demand could support fed cattle prices above these levels, which then induces producers to continue to expand as long as weather/profitability permits.
