[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 939453, member: 1863"] I agree with bigbull. With the drought being almost nationwide I see alot of reports on the shortage of corn really playing havoc on corn prices which will drive down the price of feeder calves in addition you are strting to see more cattle producers hauling calves early or culling hard due to their grass / hay situation. I think we will continue to see this as hay was real short this year and a 4x5 round bale is bringing 50.00 already. This too will negatively impact the price at the sale barn. I know that the prices are starting to drop now and will continue to drop. I would sell the older calves and culls now while the prices are still decent and see what happens from the rain situation. At least you won't take the chance of having to sell half of your herd when prices have tanked completely. Take the money and buy back high quality, young cows next year when your pastures have improved. [/QUOTE]
