Didn't want to hijack the thread on bull prices, but I'm wondering what people are seeing the prices do at normal fall sales? I could'nt keep my hand down this weekend as we went to a sale with extremely high quality females go for very little over what commercial replacement cost would be. I don't understand it and it was one of those mixed blessings. I'm relatively new to beef and have made no attempt to hide that, but I love registered cattle and suspect that somewhere down the road I would enjoy being a seedstock producer. Working as hard as a seedstock producer does and then not getting the premium that should bring has gotta be tough. Of course, the flipsde for me is, I got a whole lot of bang for my buck, at least I think. So, is this normal? When the market corrects a little, like it was sure to do, does everyone hide their checkbooks?
