[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 601363, member: 8829"] Ok here is my opinion and not meaning to offend anyone the economy has a lot to do with it but it does run in cycles and here is one of the reasons as I see it Bill and all his buddies who have good jobs in town and bought cows when they were selling good and has made a few $ the last few yrs and tells everyone that they are a cowmen, ok then the economy gets tight cow prices drop Bill and his buddies aren't making any money on their cows because the market is flooded and things are tight around the house so Bill and all of his buddies wives say sell those cows we can't afford them because they are taking money away from them getting their nails done and the kids need new $200 shoes although the last pair hasn't even got dirty yet So Bill and his buddies sell their cows and that runs the market even lower so now all these guys that had only 20 - 40 hd are out in about a yr the market stabilizes and gains a little and the economy gets a little better then in about 2 yrs Bill and his buddies have a lil more money and start buying cows again and lo and behold the market starts raising again for a couple more yrs because everyone is buying cows then it starts all over again I have watched this for several yrs and it seems to run in 5-7yr cycles I may be way out in left field but I don't beleive I am So that is my opinion on the situation and no I don't like it but that is the way it seems to go [/QUOTE]
