    Hay Prices

    Well They are large Round bales with clover, orchard grass, and fescue. I heard wide ranges of prices per bale around here since its hard to find and not many farmers here want to part with it till the grass starts to grow.

    prices

    Just wondering what you all thought of the cattle prices? I have noticed at the Sale barns that the prices are still going way up for 500 to 600 pound cattle and the futures are at 9 weeks lows. Have we hit a bubble in the market or just a little bump to higher prices? anyone?

    When to buy?

    Just bored, I just about ready to sell my yearlings, When do you guys think would be the best time to start buying some 400 to 500 pound cattle back? Think the market hit a peak and starting to come back down and wait closer to spring and take the winner off? Just a small time hobby farmer
