Materials for the meeting in Monte Vista, CO.
The meeting was in February 2019 but the prices
and examples are from June 2018. This
material will be updated during the summer of 2019. My opinion is that feeder
cattle options should not be considered until the underlying contract used is four
to six months from expiration. So,
summer is when producers should start considering actions to protect the value
of fall calf marketings.

Futures &
Options Script.pdf - Read this and use the spreadsheets to work the
examples discussed. It will be updated during
the summer of 2019 when someone contacts me or when the charts communicate that
selling is recommended.
