[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1715292, member: 1715"] Spoke with him last night. They have/had a 50 year drought like us this spring and summer, but a lot of fall rain. He is the only one expanding in that district - - buying hay from eastern Ontario and some additional local heifer calves. I hope they are the right color... We agree that there has been a big reduction in beef cows, perhaps 30%, in the west and in the northern plains. There will be some additional winter dispersials once local hay runs out. Just hard to know what the packers will decide to pay in 2022-2023. Optimists are looking for 2014 prices... Pessimists think they will just burn down some more rain forest and pay off the meat inspectors. Locally, I do not see any pastures that will be available next spring. I think most folks here were overstocked going into the drought. [/QUOTE]
