[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1594421, member: 9096"] Well said to Aaron and FarmerJan I think there's an end game plan to these low US milk prices.. when even large dairies are having a hard time of it, something has gotta change eventually Maybe there will be a disease outbreak (wouldn't be that surprising with 10,000 cows in one place)... Or maybe once there are no more small farmers to squeeze out and their places have been bought up, suddenly, MIRACULOUSLY, there will be a milk shortage.... Store price for milk will be $4/gal instead of $.90, and SOMEONE will be raking in some serious money. Look at what the supposed beef shortage of 2015 did for retail prices!.. I can say that around here, retail prices haven't come down much since despite calf prices being about 65% of what they were in 2015... My ugliest dink calf that year brought $1450 and he didn't make the 400 lb mark The smart people got out of cows entirely in 2015, the not so smart ones sold some and upgraded equipment paying cash.. even less smart ones upgraded equipment on credit, and the really dumb ones bought cows/calves [/QUOTE]
