western iowa,by Denison | Oddly rumors of Iowa cattle getting bids from afar-Choice up 6 bits with a $339.74 average with select down -$1.23 to $310.50-was not long ago the select was trying to break $300
That spread is almost $30 today-wow!
Token bids on $120 and $190 beef bid
Wife and Myself did a 160 mile ranger ride yesterday-west central Iowa is dry-not many cattle in the feedlots-20 years ago we would have seen a lot of feed lots with fats getting ready-there disappearing fast-a lot of new shops and grain bins -very few silos or concrete being used-
I try to pass my gift of always a positive day feeding cattle-get in the game, grow some wasted feed into a profit-encourage buying those young calves and learning bunk management with a 5 gallon bucket-having livestock so that you can be diversified-
It looks like from what I see on the ranger rides the cattle generation is giving up-cant blame anyone-Add $500 on those cattle would sure help Iowa cattleman.
