[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1110989, member: 694"] Lot of cattle producing states were hit and hit hard by the drought. Can't forget about that freak blizzard that took out herds as well. I don't know the numbers for the other states they figure in Texas 70% of the cattle herd was sold to slaughter. I sold 70% of mine and I know a lot that got out and stayed out. The next year when it had got to Mo. thousands of cows went through our salebarn here to slaughter, it paid to truck them down here. Another factor as well today's cows produce more beef than 50 years ago, 10 today produce what 15 did then. We have came a long with improved genetics over the last fifty years. [/QUOTE]
