Bred cow prices are soft here other than entire herd dispersals. Many sort offs are perhaps 5 cents over kill market, which is currently 10 to 17 cents less than last summer' kill market price. So you could have sorted off and sold surplus cows for 5 to 12 cents more back then. Since light calf prices collapsed last summer - - you may also have needed to back ground their light calves. Seems like a reasonable approach during this part of the cattle price cycle unless you have way too much grass in the fall. What am I missing?
