[Caustic Burno]

Well I sold my F1 Jersey Brahman today.
Least they are going into production and not Wolf Brand Chili.

They sure are some pretty gals. I know you hated to turn loose of them.

I hated seeing them go also. Glad you got them a home to keep producing.

 

[Caustic Burno]

Thirteen head have left in the last 6 weeks.
Now nine head stand around a dried up stock tank.
Those that are left would only bring kill cow prices .
They are more valuable for the calves they will have in December.
I didn't have to cull this deep in 2011

@Caustic Burno I'm so sorry ya had to sell em. But so glad they went to a good place!
I repeatedly thought about sending you a pm regarding purchasing. But I'm in the same boat here unfortunately.

I'll be selling a few myself I'm sure.

Well Caustic, your grass looks greener than mine. I might have a little more tops, but it's mostly dried up.

Local barn is expecting 2000 tomorrow.

I had a couple lick tubs had 30-40 lbs left in that they quit on last April. I put them out Friday and they took to them right away.

Packers took $5 to $6 per cwt off this morning. I heard one buyer tell someone that those big good high yielding cows that brought in the low $90's a month ago, are now doing good to bring $70. That is about $250 a head on a 1200 lb cow.

There's an opportunity in there to be had.

And yet in the US boner cows are averaging US$ 167.70 on the rail. Looks like someone is already taking advantage of an opportunity.

I hope it stays there. We have several truck loads with a August 15 kill date. Being a long ways from the drought areas and high freight cost should help to keep the price up in the PNW.

Big run in Winfield Kansas tomorrow too.

 

[Caustic Burno]

That's green sand.

Decatur sale posted a warning over the weekend not to expect a repeat on cow prices.

Thanks for the update. Since I sold my last two, I hadn't kept in touch.

No, no....one of these days it will rain 20 inches and catch up to the average rainfall....that's normal these days.

I used to think this way....but i'm pretty much convinced there's no such thing as rain...at least not more than 8 to 12 minutes of it....trace of rain.

March and early April it was dry dry here. I was buying bred cows and pairs cheap. People were selling cows as there was no grass and future for hay looked real bad. Then about mid April it started to rain. Not a lot at a time but timely. And the grass grew. Now the high country has more grass than there are cows to eat it all.

Boy howdy a lot of folks wish they had that problem!

I passed by the sale barn in Nacogdoches and thought about swinging in but I had trees to cut. I bet there were nearly a hundred trailers either around the sale barn or on the roads going and coming.

Anybody, anywhere, seeing any roping calves or other roping stock coming through? I'm curious as to what they're going for, I might have somebody I could sell some to. Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Still good to know, thanks. I called a man in another state where I'll be visiting soon to see how it was there and they were fetching near enough to par for size to a lot of beef calves, couldn't tell you why but I won't pay it.
