[QUOTE="eric, post: 99373, member: 7"] Welcome aboard, and hopefully you'll enjoy it here as much as most of us do! As far as the buying of cattle, I was told 3 yrs ago to wait because the prices were too high and they should be coming down any day now. So I waited about a yr, got my fences all done and pens all set up, then bought my first few head in Fall 2003. Then the BSE cow hit in December '03. Friends / family all told me what a mistake it was to buy right then, as prices were surely about to drop. Never happened! Prices are still high and I dont regret one bit buying when I did, since I've also sold calves into this alltime high market. Just hope it keeps up as I've got 8 fall calves to sell in a few months! So all in all, I dont know if there is ever a really good time to buy in, so just jump when you can afford to and hope for the best. [/QUOTE]
