Excerpt from Packer Feeding of Cattle<br/><br/>The growth in livestock feeding by meat packers has been an important development in the livestock and meat industry. To many livestock feeders and producers, packer feeding has been an object of particular interest and, sometimes, of concern. Farmers see an upward trend in packer feeding as a shift of livestock feeding out of traditional agricultural enterprise into a vertically integrated, industrial production process. They have already seen virtually all of the broiler production and more than half of the turkey production move under the ownership or control of non-farm firms.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the extent to which meatpackers feed cattle and its significance for the livestock and meat industry. It delves into growth trends, locational patterns, and analyses the market impact of packer feeding. The author examines theoretical pricing models to demonstrate how a packer's feeding practices can influence local market prices. The book explores how variations in market structure, from highly competitive to oligopsonistic, affect pricing dynamics. By analysing a specific market, the author provides insights into the potential price effects of packer feeding, including exploitation of market power and the impact on independent feeders. Ultimately, this book highlights the tension between the vertical integration of meat production and the preservation of traditional agricultural enterprise and market competition.
