[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1734073, member: 1715"] I think some folks are paying way up for BM bred cows due to the higher kill market. Better ones are U$S 1020 to 1080 here. Even the better ones need some high energy winter feed, and do not work for guys with low quality hay and golf course pasture height. It was -13 air temp last night and more winter is on way. I think smaller bred heifers are the best female deal here, if you willing to baby sit AND speculate that the bred market will keep trending up. I wonder how much forage ground will be converted to soybeans this spring? Return to land and labor should be over $300 per acre, and we only average 37 bushels. So expect a hay shortage for the next several years. What kind of cattle work when you can not afford hay? [/QUOTE]
