    Yup ....you buy a bred heifer for 2200 bucks then use her for 10 years and sell her for 1500 bucks....open....if my tractors had that value after 3 years grain farming wouldn't look so depressing...

    Although if the liberals had a chance they would find a way to recapture the depreciation on cows....lol...

    Good thing grassfarmer supports the liberals....that is just a friendly dig grass....not an insult..

      Talk's cheap - you're all free to go make your living solely from cattle if it's so lucrative. I think most would miss the hundreds of dollars an acre revenue and the winters in the sun....and you'd likely still have to own machinery.

          Seasonally, fed cattle prices across North America remain under pressure. Kansas cash bids heard $116 to $117/cwt this week, off $2 to $3 of-late. June live cattle have plunged recently from $123 to below $110/cwt this week. Board remains wobbly.

          Alberta cash is coming down with fed steers last heard around $155/cwt. Expect fed bids to continue to weaken into early summer . . . possibly $140 or lower before cash lows approach, we'll see.

          Cow market has been firm, but spring top may be approaching. Cdn dollar remains rangebound in our view. Major support seen @ 73 1/2 cents, heavy resistance at 76 1/2 cents U.S., opinion for what it's worth . . . .
