[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1828789, member: 22295"] Kenny hindsight is always better than foresight. I talked too many and also read and listened too many others before deciding too wean some of our calves and not sell off the cow. In the end I made the decision. No one twisted my arm. In hindsight I should of sold off the cow. We did have 5 wt bring $272.00 Tuesday. The 750 lb steers around 225.00. They still made money. We weaned more yesterday. Finishing up. If we continue to get moisture will hold them till 24. I knew the big lots were bringing in Mexican cattle. Not to the extent they did. The fact they gain slower and take up pen space longer I never considered. Also as mentioned outside forces influencing the market I didn’t expect to the extent it has. Guess I was relying on low numbers. We will continue to market cattle as they are ready. That way we may hit a few lows but also a few highs. I appreciate all of those who offer their truthful opinions. What I do with the information I gather is my decision and I don’t blame anyone else. I called a man this week about his opinion on selling now or holding a few weeks. He was hesitant to say anything after his earlier advice. I hope him and you continue to share your opinions. We may disagree on some things utcI respect your opinions and views. [/QUOTE]
