[QUOTE="Joy of Texas, post: 616970, member: 7319"] Went to one of the local barns yesterday. I haven't seen that many cows and calves in along time. I know ranchers are selling out. And it's a scary thing to see. They had some beautiful fat and heavy bred cows that sold for 400-500 a head.Several went for 350. That is sad. It didn't matter what breed or color they were. I think the saddest thing I saw was an older couple(middle to late 70's) setting in the stands. After a 100 or better cows sold .They got up and walked out. The lady had tears in her eyes and the man put his arm around her and kiss her forehead. I just couldn't help but watch them. I followed them outside they held hands as they got to their truck. He opened the door for her and told her honey we still have each other. Now I know these people sold out . I told Rick that is going to be us in a couple of years. Heck it may happen sooner that that. Hay has shot up to 80.00-100.00 a round bale. We have enough to finish winter out,but if it doesn't rain. I don't know. [/QUOTE]
