As a cattle feeder and commodity broker for 45 years, Brad Kooima of Kooima Kooima Varilek in Sioux Center, Iowa, says he’s never seen a time like this, or even a close second, in the cattle market.
“I also know either you adapt or you get run over,” Kooima says. “I think we have to embrace the idea there’s going to be a lot of volatility.”
He encourages producers to figure out a way to use the extreme volatility to their advantage.
“Don’t forget, you can sell options,” he explains. “These deep-out-of-the-money calls are worth a lot of money.”
