[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1161850, member: 18945"] I could easily run more and would except for that last X, and the obvious drought factor. Lots of folks got caught with more cattle than their forage would support when the last drought hit, and the huge 2011 selloff began, driving prices down, which meant many of those extra cows were sold at less than what the producer had in them. I didn't have to sell any but I'm still gun shy about stretching myself out too far. Livestock is just like wall street stock--when one of the variables goes downhill, better be ready to sell at a moment's notice BEFORE prices drop too far. [/QUOTE]
