[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 898147, member: 7509"] I find this an interesting thread. Happened on it by accident. I think it would be valuable if we made the titles of our original posts more descriptive. As far as prices go, the same thing is happening in cattle prices as in grains: traditional price patterns through the year are much less predictable than they used to be. I believe this is because we are in more of a world wide market these days - in just about everything. If you can't rely on market price patterns - somewhat beyond our control - then let's work on controlling the things we CAN control and optimize them for our particular situation, location, climate, local resources to reduce our costs of production and improve the quality of our product. Time calving etc so it is advantageous to us, allows us to make best use of our forage, minimizes calving problems, maximizes cow life, etc.... This may be the most profitable long term approach, even if we don't always sell at the market high. Thought provoking thread, IBRN, thank you. Jim [/QUOTE]
