[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1131464, member: 9096"] When you look at cattle numbers in south america, you'll see they have 3 times more cattle than the US at 90 million animals or so (US was listed as 33 million). I got this from [url=http://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?commodity=cattle]http://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?commodity=cattle[/url] I think there's going to be pressure to open up borders before US cattle number really recover. I think old folks are getting out while the getting's good and selling off their herds.. they may hold on to land for a while yet before selling it, so it's not going to go right back into production either. JohnSD, I quite agree with you.. Now's the time I'd work on paying down debt, not accumulating more... Everyone is out for a piece of this pie, and equipment dealers are certainly no exception. Don't forget that we haven't really recovered from 2008 yet, and I think that there'll be some fallout from injecting so much money into the economy.. What it will be I'm not sure, but something is going to happen with the trillions injected.. hyper inflation perhaps? StockerSteve. You're quite right, Ranching is a pizz-poor ROI. Around here, only the 1000+ head operations seem to actually manage to get ahead, the rest of us manage to live... Us small guys manage to buy a good old tractor or baler to keep us going, the mid sized guys manage to buy a new one, but no one seems to really be able get somewhere financially. I know that you can't make a penny ranching around here with the land prices if you have debt. Something is going to come along to soften the cattle prices... I certainly can't exclude a health scare, I just think someone will be happy to make money from importing more beef, and that will mean the rules will change. [/QUOTE]
