work out as I expected, I've experienced that adventure before but it's been awhile since the cattle market has been mean to me. I try to always have a backup plan and I had to be very aggressive and quick to engage Plan B with the expiration clock working against me. We did make profits on our herds of Aug cattle-----just not close to what we were counting on. Part of Plan B was to grab long Oct to replace the Aug we were so rudely forced out of. There might be enough gas in Oct tanks for it to make a run at the targets I thouight Aug could give me. We will find out next week and I still don't like the thought of selling Dec lower than 187.00.
