If I was to guess, the farmers probably make more money selling feed corn for ethanol than to use it as feed for their herds.

But that is a guess on my part.

Cost of corn, but mostly the drought a couple of years ago causing farmers to send more cows to slaughter than usual.

There was a disastrous freeze last fall with the loss of 100,000 cattle.
