Calf prices are another reason herds are not being rebuilt.
Like one old fellow said I’ve never sold a calf for $2800 so I’m selling all my calves. He was telling everyone in the waiting room that would listen. Hard not to hear him from all his excitement.

BIL has Ben talking about it for several years so I’ve been asking friends that have cow herds. One fellow told me about his cousin that sold off his calves late summer and was almost half a million. It wasn’t as many calves as I would’ve thought to bring that price. He’s running around 1000 head.
Even talked to a former member on here for several hours about it

Everything is stupidly priced. Fencing is ridiculous, everything associated is.

Replacements are being sold off because of the high prices they bring.
