A lot more going back to rebreed. Makes sense. Grass has to get stocked and the calf market was/is tight.
The young opens this fall were insane and don’t see how they work unless this market stays this high for another year or 2.

The direct to packer is a crap shoot anymore, im sure yards have deals in place but not worth it now if you’re not contracting large numbers. A couple loads and they will eat your lunch, better off sending to the barn and letting them bid. I don’t know if Booker or anyone will still bid in the country vs cow grid. If they would bid em that’d be ok.
