I Know that report is small and hard to read but I thought it laid things out pretty well. I know several people that are selling every calf at weaning and culling really hard during these high prices. At the same time they are too scared to buy replace cattle. Can't say I blame them when a 7 year old bred cow is bringing $2,300 plus. We culled really hard but made the decision to keep playing the game and bought back. Hopefully things hold out.
As always high averages are just that. There is $2 a pound between the low and high on all of those weight classes. You could have clenched but cheeks waiting to see where yours land in the group.A small % drop in price is a lot of money if you are buying to resell. Grass calves this year could be like playing Russian roulette.
