To me it does not seem like the falling feeder prices have hurt the bred heifer prices much. I just can't seem to get the $1800-2500 bred commercial heifers to pencil out over retaining my own heifers.
At what price point does it pay to keep your own over buying bred ones? Best deal I have found is a second calf cow about 3 months bred for $1800, not went to look at here yet though. Not really wanting to buy a cow from the sale barn even that I have luck with it about 2 out of 3 times.
