1 | THE CATTLE CRUSH AND REVERSE CRUSHWHAT IS THE CATTLE CRUSH ?The CATTLE CRUSH trade seeks to replicate the gross margin of a typical feedlot operation by calculating the spread between input costs and the output sale price. For a typical feedlot, the two primary inputs are feeder CATTLE and corn while the output is live CATTLE , which are sent to market once the feeding process ends. The long CRUSH trade combines taking a long position in feeder CATTLE and corn with corresponding short positions in live CATTLE .
