With everyione selling out right now (3 of my relatives are getting out this week), cattle prices are way down. I was in Patton, MO yesterday and you could get very nice 4-5 weights for $120/hundred. That is around 35%-40% less than they were in the spring. If you have pasture you can sure get some deals now. One of my cousins has 100 bales of hay left and is selling out his cattle now so he can at least sell the hay for some income. Hay is the crop to have this year. Round bales are bringing around $60-$65 per bale here and looks like it has no where to go but up this fall. Looks like feeding hay this winter is going to be EXPENSIVE!
How are you all holding out? Are most of you selling down your herd size to survive the winter? How many have sold all their cattle till we get some real rain?
