Most people here that haven't sold out are down 60 to 70%.

Well it is raining again second time in a week, might be able to get some winter pasture in.

Neighbor's and I both sold some fine commercial and registered girls this year.

I hung on to my best registered girls picked up a couple of fine heifer's in trade for a six month old bull.
They were 3/4 Herf 1/8 Char and 1/8 Brimmer. I would have liked to packed the trailer full with them to sell next spring breed to an Angus.

There are cattle being brought to this area from Tx, and most likely helping to bring prices down. The temptation was so great that I had to buy my first cattle in over 30 years. I have mixed feelings, recalling how sad it was to have to give up cattle due to a bad market
and high costs years ago, but the drought being my chance to get some nice cows.
