[QUOTE="Texan, post: 39750, member: 416"] Yes, Roy. That's exactly what I'm saying. I know that I won't risk cutting any big calves this year. Especially not in the heat of August with the market like it is. Lots of people wanting to buy them and willing to take that chance because of numbers being short. Time you figure the shrink, risk and all the costs, to me this is one of those years where cutting may not be worth it if you've already waited this long. Lot of downside to this market. I'd hate to be stuck waiting on cattle to heal up and get back to the weight they started at if something bad happened to cheapen them up. Just something else to think about is all that I'm saying. I guess it all depends on how long you were planning on keeping them. [/QUOTE]
