western colorado | I'll clarify on my opinion. There are are more and I mean much more calves taking a trip to town with no pre conditioning. I'm not blaming guys for doing that, it is purely a function of the market. When prices are this high pre conditioning has a hard time penciling out in most situations. The side effect is potentially huge death loss for the background feeder. I've read as high as 25% recently. This has the effect of causing some negative situations. #1 the guy feeding and suffering this death loss is going to have a really hard time showing any sort of profit. #2 as the fall run grinds on buyers are going to become much more reluctant to buy cattle if they even have any money left to do so. #3 overall cattle numbers can be considerably effected, depending on your situation that can be a good or bad thing | |
