Having been one of the guys that thought $5 was the new floor for corn and proven wrong I would like to share a lesson with the cattle guys. Today is not the highest price for cattle. It is however still a very very good price historically. It is obvious Trump is going to bring in cattle to lower the price even further. If you can swing it, sell every last animal you have and cash out. It is obvious that once this imported beef hits the markets cattle prices are going to drop. No ifs and or butts about it. When you think we have hit the low or a temporary low, buy back in. I wish I would have sold some corn a couple years out. It would have been a very smart and profitable move. High prices cure high prices. You are currently living it and about to see the results. Be smart about it and secure a good profit and go south for the winter.
Nope.
This just “checked” the enthusiasm of all the wanna-be starts. The older generation is going to ride the cycle out on a high while the next generation of future ranchers got the bitch slap to wake up about waking-up at 2 AM to check the PLANNED retained heifers during any old night that were saved back to grow the herd.
The next generation is going to cash in the cow money to buy newer R and Magnum tractors and use the drill to seed covers for global corporate carbon rustlers…. Turn the key or mess with heifers….hmmm….. that’s a toughy.
Catttle guys, if this is true how do we balance it?
