[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 718597, member: 8978"] This is a good question. Right now the prices in my area for a decent cow are around 30-34 cents. The packers are definitely stockpiling cows, no way they could get them all killed right now. My local sale barn owner thinks cows will be sky high come spring. He predicts a good cow with calf will be $1500. He is also predicting 600 lb. calves in the spring will be around $1.40/lb.! He thinks with the huge selloff of cows and calves this fall there will a lot of empty pastures looking for something to put in them. He might be right. A local cattle buyer told me he has been getting phone calls everday from landowners wanted to rent out their pasture next year. I am still holding some cows and bred heifers but intend to sell soon. Sold all the old girls and practically all of the calves(kept a few for the freezer trade....already spoken for). Considering the poor markets I didn't do too bad as they weighed up good. Started feeding three days ago. [/QUOTE]
