[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 731714, member: 3162"] It sure lets you spread eggs into many baskets. If you have hay, you can buy low and sell high any time. Why sell the hay for near break even prices when everyone has it? A drought hits, you can hold and not dump cattle for a loss. Turn those heifers to cows if you have to. People who dumped in the drought will need to buy back. You are sitting on young cows perfect for the climate. Normal years your cows make you a normal profit. On adverse years when everyone is upside down, you're not. Hay prices go through the ceiling, you're sitting pretty to make a profit on excess hay and can help folks out who have had your back.
