[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1479757, member: 25884"] Sold a cow that calved, prolapsed and had the vet put it back in. The calf died and we figured there was no point in keeping her. She wasn't a very big cow, 830 lbs I think, looked okay but not great. No drugs in her and she was eating and all. Brought $.35 and it was definitely better than burying her. If the calf had lived she would have gone when it was weaned. That is the first one we had trouble with this fall. Prices were a little better than the week before. Planning on shipping a load of about 15-20 heifers this week. In the 450 wt range I guess. We are not getting any moisture. Had maybe a 1/2 inch so far this month. Maybe supposed to get some rain this eve, up to a 1/2 inch possible. But we came into 2018 in a deficit and Jan. is usually 3 inches normally....the snow and rain goes south or north of us. We have plenty of hay, but are worried about prices if it stays dry. And pastures will not grow after the very dry fall, and hay will be short next year if this keeps up. So we will see and hope for fair to decent prices. [/QUOTE]
