We had calves that were border line in the peak of prices, here. We started getting timely rains, I was busy, prices went all over the place, etc so they didnt get sold. We have decided to hold them until the spring. I set up a place with stockpiled grass, we have that oats and rye planted and I cut some hay I wasn't going to mess with, in preparation. Luckys thread on keeping calves and the situation all seemed to point to giving it a try. They are still on green grass right now. We haven't gotten a freeze yet.
I think this thing will come back strong if all the markets, as a whole, don't fall apart in the spring. We have gambled on that. This is not my MO so we will see if I get my butt handed to me.
