[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1541466, member: 498"] There is a stock cow sale here in about two weeks. If history repeats itself there will be 1500-2000 cows. By the second half of the sale they will be killing 90% of them. Not because they are bad cows. Just that the people wanting stock cows will be full up. If a person can't pick 40-50 decent cows out of 700 they should just stay home. And you will buy those cows for one bid over today's kill price. Cow kill prices aren't going any lower IMO. I read where the dairy kill for the month of October was 17% over last year. That won't continue clear to next year. One of my theories on short term cows is to wean calves by way of shipping the cows about September 1. I get rid of those cows before the annual slip in the cow market. [/QUOTE]
