Lee Schulz, Associate Professor, recently authored an article for Wallaces Farmer. Schulz's article examines how cattle producers know the appropriate time to sell. In the article Schulz says there are many "pertinent questions" producers should consider when choosing an pricing opportunity, including "Is the price acceptable? Is the price likely to move higher or lower? If the price moves, how far and how fast might it move? Can your business withstand a big, possibly abrupt, price move lower? In short — can you survive a volatile market?"
