[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 746886, member: 13261"] hey jeanne, sorry for the delay but have been busy with two practices. i regret of buying young weaned heifers from this producer because the prices are escalating. great for the seller but bad for the buyer. the prices almost near 115. i could have purchase a price around 80 about two months ago. they are expecting the prices to be 130-140 because of lack of beef cattle. i thought jeanne that if the prices of hay are dropping that the prices of beef would drop. two string bale of hay is about 2 to 2.25. second cut is about 2.25-2.50. round bale of hay are dropping 25 to 30 dollars. we got spring too early, and the hotter temperature gets the grass will grow like fast. i am guessing that these hays producers do not want to take a lost and return are purchasing feeders. hence, more buyers with limited or short supply of feeders. i will just wait till fall when grass are dormant during cold weather and less hays.
