Risk Ratios and Hedging: Florida Feeder Cattle

Abstract

Hedging livestock historically has been practiced mainly by midwestern and Great Plains producers because they are the dominant force within the U.S. cattle industry. Likewise, futures contract definitions and delivery points have been tailored to the needs of these producers. Recent growth in the feeder cattle industry in the Southeast, and particularly in Florida, suggests that greater hedging use may be applicable to southeastern producers. Interest in expanding the usefulness of the feeder cattle contracts to these growth regions is indicated by the recently established delivery point in Montgomery [2].
