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.
