Feed Reduction

[Old Cowzilla]

Mild weather has gave guys a break in feed consumption this last month cows still out pickin with odd visits from feed wagons. Last nice day here than cold front moves in plug tractors in for tomorrow chore time. You can drive anywhere in our fields now most snow we had couple weeks ago melted.

Pig farms, Chicken Farms, Feedlots have switched to Corn... Canola Meal 40%px $400/t... glad livestock can find decent feed supplies... Distillers Grains State Side is a big plus for cows![on corn stubble]

Argentina released most export beef taxes today... US threatens Brazil beef imports,,, Mad Cow Brazilian beef sneaking through is the charge...

Volatile...

US mills chasing wheat in midwest increasing positive basis to supply flour mills as winter wheat futures drop... new crop wheat ratings drop...

Trouw Bids for Dec 15-21, 2021

Sherwood Park
Barley-$8.95/bu del Jan
Wheat-$12.25/bu del Feb
Oats-$9/bu del Dec - Jan(pending sample approval)
Canola-$19.95/bu del Jan - Feb

Ya prices are crazy. Definitely cutting back on how much barley our critters are getting when it’s worth 18.5 cents/pound and 600 pound heifers are worth 185 cents/pound. Doesn’t compute very well. I guess they’ll grow out a little slower than normal. Wish I could sell it instead of feeding it. Cattle prices are still waiting on “inflation” to kick in sometime………. Next year hopefully 🤞

Had three different brokers call today looking for barley so I guess it’s hard to come by yet😉

Surprized to see bred heifers trade to $3000 ave $23+ at Veteran last week.

Would they be taking a ride from there?
