[QUOTE="Kscattle, post: 1073642, member: 17143"] My theory is that most guys around here plowed up ground that has been in pasture for a hundred years to plant corn. When corn prices start to tank, they'll sow it back to grass and buy cows again. Your good for at least three years if you buy now. Don't wait till spring cause they'll be higher, then prices will decline slightly. I bought cows 5 years ago for $1300/pr and the next year my banker said I was upside down on them. I reminded him of that the other day, and laughed. On the subject of heifers vs older cows, the younger you buy them the longer they stay alive to pay them off, but stay away from heifers. Why not keep your own replacements and buy a few more bred cows or pairs to keep cash flow? If you keep a few heifers back every year, its easier to maintain a young herd. [/QUOTE]
