[QUOTE="ManyHorses, post: 59734, member: 1016"] IMO Texan is absolutely right in all respects... The reason most producers do what they do when they do it is because it's always been done that way, or their pappy did it that way, or that's the way their neighbors are doing it. But don't you see that this crowd mentality is what's keeping you 'down on the farm'... 'buying too high and seeing too low'... Not that you're not making money but rather you're not making the money you could be making with the capital investment and experience you already have. So here's the way my mindset works... Oh, Oh... I'm gonna get some flack on this one.... :( :( :( Look at yourself looking forward on yourself looking back at yourself... In other words, taking Texan's observation, look forward at yourself next fall and wishing you had fall calves for sale... and kicking yourself for not having 'em... Ask yourself why when you had the chance earlier in the year, that you didn't set up your operation to achieve that end. Now a lot depends upon that market area you're in... because producers in Montana have a lot different set of circumstances than a producer in say Georgia... meaning Montana weather conditions produce more spikes in the calf and yearling cycles whereas Georgians may have year-round cycles. This tends to offer the Montana producer more 'opportunity' in terms of greater price spikes, but the Georgian more 'opportunity' in terms of greater available time. So anyway, I'd suggest working my on my endgame first... and then figure out how to get there from where your are.... Now you can see why some folks accuse me of doin' things kinda 'ass-backwards... :lol: :lol: :lol: Hope this helps... Richard [/QUOTE]
