[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1372477, member: 1715"] Some of the strategy types start with what is your limitation? In cattle ag limitation is often framed as either labor, land, or animals. Sell/buy guys have labor and locations to handle more cattle. Cow/calf guys usually do not. I think a lack of networking or collaboration helps drive some cow/calf guys towards the panic button. I spoke to the local back grounding yard on taking some of my 2016 calves. His yard is at about 1/3 of capacity and having trouble covering overhead. The owner is not willing to own a lot of cattle, and has problems finding people who will place cattle. Heifer discounts are huge here. I think selling steers and buying back good heifers would give you a lot of 2017 options. Thin cows are also cheap. Corn silage could be a money maker. [/QUOTE]
