[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1617196, member: 1715"] Bred sales have strengthened greatly here. Order buyers are getting almost all of the cows. I think they are going SW to the monsoon regions, that may not have had enough hay and optimism to buy replacements last fall. I am seeing a few producers selling breds and get into back grounding calves or feeding cull cows. Feels like a short term deal. They will make good $$$ this year if they had had the balls to load up in September or early October and have some corn silage. :D The Trump checks are propping up some US producers, and propping up some US land prices, but that can not continue for long. I think the general CRP signup is the next big thing for producers. These additional CRP acres will also prop up land prices but not help farm suppliers. I am still working through my 2018 numbers. So far weaning weights (washy grass) are down, cattle prices are down, and repair costs are up. I don't believe in selling hay but it is tempting. [/QUOTE]
