I updated my cost estimate today. Does 1,100 to 1,200 U$S seem reasonable?

Those should give you a quick return on your investment and they die about as often as cattle.houstoncutter":i7g9xvgg said:Whew... you fellas have fun buying those high priced heifers......I think I will wait for the train wreck, that is coming before I buy back in, or I just may plant pecan trees, and forget all this fun......

yup, i will wait when the price drop and until this fall around end of oct or beginning nov when they are around 650-700, when there are not enough green grass and a lot of snow. patience is virtue. these prices are too high for me, as a newbie. i am not riding this "train wreck", according to "houstoncutter."
buy them low and sell them high, according to this board many advises., uscangus, go lakers...............

I would love to see these prices stay this high, and really I think those prices should double.................but alas I can remember buying papered maine and angus heifers that were 6 months bred for $350 at the NorTex dispersal and they were happy to get it, because cattle were selling a whole lot cheaper at the sale barn....Trust me when I say the packers are gonna figure out a way to get the upper hand. I think as cattleman or cattlewoman we are gonna have to get smarter...and that is dont pay a lot for your animals and be willing to sell the herd at the drop of a hat... I know this goes against the grain for most people on this board, because they want to produce the best product that they can. Alas we are not paid for all that effort, not even now with these higher prices...I think I read somewhere the other day, that even using prices that calves are bring that a cow has to be at least 10 years old to break even and you wont see a profit on her until u sell her at that advanced age...How many of you have cattle in your herd that are 12 years old? I am not talking about a couple but at least 25 percent of your herd...I would dare say very few of us....Seedstock producers are licking their chops waiting for the next newby to drop $15oo for a heifer and $3500 for a good bull............A lot of smart commercial cattlemen have sold out......i think I hear that ol orange Blossom Special coming down the track....
