[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1714798, member: 498"] I saw some decent broken mouth cows last week sell for $500. But this time last year I was buying cows for $500. And I averaged $670 by the time I was done buying in January. To meet my hay budget from last year I have to wait until the first of February to start buying. One of the problems along with expensive hay is just finding hay for sale at any price. I heard one guy talking about hauling down to some lower forest circus ground down along the Snake River and just turning out. Paying trespass fines is cheaper than buying hay. We have had a lot of rain recently. Things have greened up and a lot of cows are still out. The longer the cows are able to stay out the more pressure there will be for the hay guys to sell. It is a real crap shoot this year. The smart thing might be to sit this one out. [/QUOTE]
