Will the ranchers see much of the increase?

Sure. If the price of steers on the hoof is up nearly 100% in past year. Alot of this is due to feed price increases. Costs more for water to irrigate the hay fields since nature hasn't been cooperating lately.

Cargill, ADM, and the huge feedlot operators will see the real profit here.

Well, some will. I just ordered a black angus, both sides. May cost me a little more - truth be told, I forgot to ask.

Nothing like a full freezer.
