Hedging on the Live Cattle Futures Contract

Russell L. Gum and John Wildermuth

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1970, vol. 22, issue 4, 3

Abstract: Feeders who wish to hedge should consider more than the price for which they sell a fed cattle futures contract. They should also consider the efficiency of the hedge and the expected effective price which results from hedging. This is slJown by selected comparisons of results for fed cattle marketed in Chicago, Phoenix, and Denver, May 1965 through December 1968.
