Abstract: Optimal hedge ratios on feeder steers for four different locations are estimated. Simulate hedging outcomes are evaluated to determine differences in hedging risk across locations. Results indicate that location explains little of the differences in risk, though hedging risk in Georgia is greater on March and November contracts than in other locations considered.
