Cattle Prices Pinch Lamoureaux Family Ranching in Midwest
Lamoureaux and his grandson Bill Potter run a 27 square mile operation between Mission South Dakota and Valentine Nebraska. They raise about 500 head and graze 2500 for others, selling yearlings for around 42.50 a hundredweight last fall after rejecting higher offers. They face rising costs for feed at 350 a ton and higher calf prices, with overhead squeezing profits and the prospect of further price swings as they prepare for September sales.
