[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1563255, member: 25884"] Your dad got out at the right time. It has gotten A LOT worse since then. Springing heifers now can be bought here for $800. It is sad. And milk prices are less than what we were getting in 1980....when I was milking full time. Land here is from $3 to 10,000 an acre. We are in Rockbridge County.... get the hint ?? 3 1/2 hours from Washington, DC and all the big "cities".... but this is till cheaper than where I came from in Ct. This year it will take all we have to try to stay afloat . One way to do that is to sell more square bales and run less cows since feeders will barely pay for the cost to keep a cow. Small mini-farms with sheep and goats are springing up and that is where those with retirement incomes from jobs they made money at, are at now. They have some disposable income, and enjoy their "hobby farms". And the "horse people", as long as you can find the ones that pay. [/QUOTE]
