There is a young man in my area who has a few jersey milk cows solely for grafting cheap orphan calves on to. Pretty good idea I thought if you have a few minutes a day to put to it.
This is true, the chart graybeard posted shows a jump of 1 million head from 2014 to 2015. So what else caused prices to drop so quickly? Seems I seen a chart somewhere that showed that drop correlating with the county of origin labeling change.
My opinion is worth what it costs, but if I was you I would sell in May lol. Just my luck alone says they will go down July cause that's when I'll have a good number ready
#2 is a quarter ear or more, hereford, off colors and singles. Horned is roping cattle. #1 is the absolute best of the sell and a man would be wise not to count on those prices
