[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 833477, member: 7795"] Dewey...not only overpriced hay and fuel costs....but all of the outrageously expensive input costs compared to risk/reward vs return, at some time you have to quit :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: and understand quitting or getting out isn't a sign of failure....it means you finally understand the econimics of the situation. Just as all the Mom and Pop stores are a thing of the past, a farmer/rancher can't feed the world if he can't feed and cloth himself! By the way...in my ovservations...I'd consider splitting the calves from the cows before they enter the ring...packers would not be buying pairs then reselling the calf if they couldn't make money doing it. They would make the auction split before buying...why give them that premium that should be yours. This is where knowing what is happening in your market and how your cattle generally sell can make a few more bucks for you. [/QUOTE]
