[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 700976, member: 8978"] hillsdown: I still haven't sold my cattle. Trying to put some more weight on the calves before they leave. I don't bale any significant amount of hay...haven't for years...it just doesn't make economic sense, in my opinion. Even in a year like this with high prices it doesn't work. Check out the Alberta Ag website for prices on hay and straw and I think you will agree the prices I quoted are realistic? My family have been raising cattle in Alberta since 1905. I have raised cattle all my life. I owned my first cow before I went to school and that was close to 50 years ago. I am sorry if I offended you by pointing out that most cow/calf operations aren't economically viable in central Alberta this year. I do realize different people raise cattle for different reasons, and that is okay too...for many it isn't about money. [/QUOTE]
