Friday Cocktail

[Hamloc]

The sun is poking out a couple minutes at a time which is nice after a week of fog and cloud.

Beautiful temps at least and it feels like we should be dressed like SF is in his picture above😉

Sold the yearling heifers yesterday and got 45 cents better than a year ago which is great.

It was an easy decision to hit the sell button after the bidding was done. Nice some inflation finally rubbed off on the cattle price side of things. Watched some 500 lb steers fetch $3.51 which makes me curious where things will be a year from now?

Fun times ahead …………… hopefully 🍻

Good to hear Woodland. We backgrounded our calves and they are set to go in a week and a half. In talking to the auction mart certainly sounds like lots of cows have been sold. The reality is most cow calf guys are my age or older(58), prices will have to provide some incentive to inspire the young guys to continue, that simple. $3.51 for 500 lb. calves, probably where it will need to be to get some growth.

I hope the cattle industry gets a well deserved shot in the arm. The amount of BS you guys have endured the last 15-20 years should amount to some sort of prize waiting at the end of the rainbow.

I believe with as many older guys exiting the industry as there are, it should be very good for hopefully a long while.

500 pound calves have to be at 4 bucks.

There will be no growth in the cattle industry unless that happens.

Balers are approaching 100k

Tractors , even used ones are ridiculous.

Now start talking pasture.

You can't get any young guy with a lick of math skills to make sense of entering the cattle business as a cow calf guy.

And that's where it all starts.

You can use your maps and avoid tolls in Florida or Atlanta etc. but it’s easy to get a sun pass or the new Ez pass that’s good in 19 states
