E. HENRY "HANK" ROGERS has built a commercially-based
futures business primarily trading cattle and related markets since
joining Frontier in 1995. He maintains a large geographical base of cattle
feeding, ranching and order buying customers ranging from the Texas plains
to the northern cornbelt. In addition to flat price and basis hedging, he
monitors and trades numerous spread relationships, such as live cattle,
live hog, live cattle, feeder cattle, and the Cattle Crush. Hank also
manages speculative accounts for investors wishing to diversify their
portfolio with futures and options.
Hank was raised and educated in Texas. He received both a
Bachelor of Science and Master of Agriculture degrees from Texas A&M
University in the field of Beef Cattle Production. In 1988, he went to
work for Agri Beef Co., a diversified agricultural-based firm
headquartered in Boise, Idaho. In the field, his duties included shipping
and receiving company cattle and setting up preconditioning programs for
calves to be fed in one of Agri Beef's four feedyards. In the office, his
responsibilities were primarily related to market analysis and carcass
performance of cattle slaughtered on a value-based agreement. In 2000,
Hank joined Frontier's Kansas City office.
