[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1416904, member: 20599"] Farmerjan, your background with the dairy side of things is always helpful to those of us (ahem, me) who don't always keep on top of dairy, and reminds me to always consider how much the current trend in dairy culls influences the beef side of things as well. Conversely, when beefer prices were going up, lots of dairy farmers around us decided to "get into" at least a little beef, so that helped our prices at that time. In terms of the prices I listed above, these were some pretty good bloodlines too--nice registered stock, not junk. Which made it even more sobering. SO sobering, I wanted a drink afterwards :drink: For those of us who just got in over the past few years and have been building our herds and just now getting really ready to start selling some small groups, the timing is especially painful. I have a nice 6yo registered mama (has had 4 nice calves) that instead of re-breeding I may just burger. or dog food. Jackals, whatever. :( [/QUOTE]
