[QUOTE="Rusty Faucet, post: 1371664, member: 25716"] Cattle feeders must stop feeding cattle so long and getting them too big as we don't need the meat and you know what happens when a bunch of 1,500 pound fat cattle are sitting in the yards prices go down. As cattle breeders we must stop getting cattle so big...at weaning, yearlings and as fats. Thousand pound cows capable of producing a 400 to 500 calf in 7 or 9 months going on to a forage program to finish weight of 1,000 pounds or maybe another 90 day of grain and finish at 1,200 pounds. Right now we are producing to produce at a loss...just like the corn guys when they had $6 per bushel corn for a year or so...look at it now...$6 corn is a short term deal just like $2.50 per cwt. calves are...let's get real and go low tech and low input then cattle may make a buck for a number of years vs. over producing with high tech and high inputs and loosing the ranch.
