Probably be a adjustment hard on calf segment-talking to a lot of cattle feeders and about most of them have decided it's not business as usual myself included, pass on 300 head calves that have bought past 5 years,best was $75 head profit with the last batch of steers will be -$100 if the market holds at current Dec Board price
packer doesnt have to take a loss,cattle feeder is tired of a loss and the cowman didnt get heeled up in last 3 years probably won't stay in
some $500 cash rent in my aera, a few investor land cash rent at $400
lots of $200 to $300 rent with other grain crop farmers wanting to rent more crop acres
most 20-50 cow guys have quit in last 5 years and lot of farm places gone and in corn and beans-over 10 farm places gone in last 5 years within 4miles of my farm
If you don’t feed cattle, when are you going to use up all the cheap feed in storage from 2014-2016 sitting in silos?
How do you pay for all the concrete you all poured during the 115 heat indexes that killed 30,000 head of fats in the dakotas and Nebraska lots?
It’s amazing the coffee cans buried behind the barns! |
