Talking heads are saying beef prices look good in the next couple years. They have been saying that for a while and will one day be correct.
Looked at doing some additional bred heifers late this spring after the rains came. Big open heifers in smaller lots were U$S 1200. Estimated bull bred values were only $1500 this fall - - for a $2.50 per day gross with 100% success. Fall price seemed low, but then I found out we were already getting cows from the SW. Jockeys claim they can truck (smaller) cows to the artic vortex for $100 a head.
Seems like the simple re stocking play is to re home some young cows?
