[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1603288, member: 1715"] Bigger feeder runs started last week. A mix of yearlings and sucking calves. A few folks dumped their sucking calves early, right after Labor day, but most still have them on pasture. Lots of washy fall grass this year. I am still rotating but also providing a couple bales per paddock. Local buyers are not too interested in calves. Corn is too wet to make good silage. Fields and lots are really muddy. October weather is challenging... Hope is calf prices go up in November, maybe, but better odds are that corn prices will go up. Stored forage could be short in the monsoon areas. We seem to be the dry island, only getting an inch or two per week. I expect many folks will cull cows rather than truck in expensive hay. I am thinking about culling cows and retaining lots of heifers. Have alot of fancy ones from my SOB bulls, and a few from my OCC bred bull. [/QUOTE]
