Old Macdonald, it has been a great post and I may have disagreed a lil' bit but do agree the boat will continue to rock and cattle have been on a historical high.  I wish I knew how it will fall.  I think the cow/calf side of things will get a fairly smooth ride on the way down.  On the feeding side of things I don't want to guess.  With the cow herds at record lows and record high prices I think there will be good times for the cow producers who are not plaqued with drought issues.  We had drought troubles two years ago and my cost of production was much higher.  Creep feed and feeding more hay for longer period of time.  Well I do wish all a good year and did not want to be perceived as bragging in any way.  Some of my comments/opinions were experiences or things I have experienced in my operation and did not mean to seem arrogant.  Again I wish well for all, we are a team, row crop or livestock we are just one spoke in a big wheel.
