[QUOTE="Lon, post: 827068, member: 16174"] better get to work on them then or thats all you will have is thistle. by the way your cows aint bad sure dont look skinny or hurting for anything but if ya own quit a bit of land they shouldnt even if its dry since there aint many. i got a question though. what are you doing with the land. i am assuming you own a bit since you had 300 hd at one time. do you lease it out? surely to let it just sist would cost money. also on the buy high sell low part. tell me if my thinking is wrong cause im just pondering here. but if it is due to dry year and a huricane than wouldnt alot of people be selling as well pushing the market down therefor poking a hole in that or was it based on primaryaly the tax benifit? i know around here at times you look into wyoming and or one time even montana and they were real dry and i remembering guys going that far to buy cows and trucking them home because of how cheap they were. also why didnt you just sell off eveything except your 3yr olds or hiefers or something keeping your #s low. this way you would still have more than enough feed? (could rent any extra out to someone else as real short term lease cause if it is dry enough theyll take whatever they could get) reason for doing this is than buy know you could have had your numbers built back up to some extent and they are high again sell off the most part keeping just a few again and building from there. this way you would still have the type or cattle you worked to create that were working for you instead of having to start over and build that type of cow again. or is my way of thinking on this not correct at all and would be a bad ownership decision?
