How many of you are still expanding your cow herd with these bred cow/heifer prices. Currently have the opportunity to rent pasture for 25 more cows ($275/pair). Pasture is productive with good fences and water. Just nervous as a young producer with bred heifers bringing $4500 and dependable cows at $3,500. Does a guy wait this year out or jump on in?
I would get to it, but don’t buy bred heifers they aren’t worth more than good cows. |
