Guys we recorded the meeting with Jimmy Horner the other night. As soon as I can figure out how to put it on youtube I will post a link in here for whoever is interested.

For those in the North Texas area... Regenerative Ranching Workshop 2 Our next workshop is set for Saturday 17 February. We have Bret Peshek coming back again to speak. Bret is an excellent educator, and more importantly, a practitioner of regenerative principles. Using cover crops and...

I heard it explained that the reason that age group is so expensive is because the stockers can get a greater differential in weight to out weight, which makes them so valuable for them and drives the prices up. It is my estimation that the market as it stands is set up for the feedlot driven...

Sure. PM me your email and I will add you to the list. We have another regenerative workshop slated for 17 Feb.

A mate of mine has a theory that some of the problem is feedlots are selling corn, so the longer it takes to get them to finish weight the more corn they sell.

Has anyone had any recent experience with using the Leachman Stabilizer cattle? My understanding is he has been continually improving over the years.

I think this year a lot of people were just killing cows to eat to get them off the feed bill rather than send them to the saleyard and get squat for them. The cattle that were fed out properly weighed in at up to 63% of live wt.

I personally think that running your yield figures off live weight has too many subjectives. Condition, hide thickness, how much is in their bellies. I think working off hanging weight is a better way to figure. When I opened up 4 months ago, I was expecting to see hanging weights around 60%...
