Rumor here is that as the mud dries up - - - the price of pairs will skyrocket to replace deads from April snow storms. Are you seeing any of this?

Attended a retirement auction Saturday. Nice commerical cows with a couple generations of AI breeding. Three to five year old cows with March calves were U$S 2,400. Hard to figure how that kind will turn a profit.

At those prices looks like you will be cutting hay again this summer or putting on some stockers to take care of that nice grass of yours, or maybe selling out and becoming Fishing Steve!
