What goes up must come down

You cant sell Holstein bull calves up here and from what I hear they are even hard to give away. Neighbor up th eroad gives all theirs away now.

I dont know... I think the cattle industry has started into the perfect storm. Prices are low for cattle and very high for feed grains. Its scary to even think about it.

heck we can buy 55 lb bags of cleaned corn up here at the new TSC store for $5.89 a bag. We only add a few bags of it to the ground barley to add fat content.

I would hate to guess what it costs guys around here to grow a crop of wheat. They pretty well all have high clearance sprayers and they spend the summer spraying the fields. By fall they have permanent tram lines in the crop. I ll stick to growing Barley, and Canola. No shortage of straw...

cowboyup, We have always followed the same idea as you. Wait til the oats were fully developed and just starting to ripen a bit, they make pretty nice feed then. Sometimes these people giving out advice on what to do arent always as smart as their title says. I dont know about down there but...

Ot, There is lots of hay for sale up here!! That guy must have belonged to R-Hay...lol

OT, Crops around here are yielding below normal and bushel weights are below normal. We were combining barley yesterday and I think even chickens would turn their beaks up at it :roll: , it was light 46 lbs to what we normally grow. Hard to keep it in the combine without blowing it over the...

Ouchie... Ouchie....Ouchie :P :P :P

I like my barley fed critters tender, juicy and lots of flavor!! :wink:

Tim have you ever tried dandylion wine that the hutterites make. Heard it was wicked stuff... if your car runs outta gas dump a jug of that stuff in and its as good as rocket fuel..... :)

OT- I ve heard the same as you but we have never had a problem with it and there are lots of chokecherriy trees in our pastures. IT might kill them if that is all they had to eat but I think when they have grass it wont hurt them. We havent lost any yet to them.

Shelly, I could use a second outfit cutting in the field......... doesnt pay very well but scenery is pretty good!! :)

Tim, Im starting to see a few hoppers up here whats say you and I round up a hole trailer load of them and head down to haymakers place. :wink: :lol: :lol: See if they could crossbreed with the TX hoppers and become hybrid super hoppers....lol

Any of you folks that are really dried out Im sure we could hook you up with some hay up here there is lots kickig around. The way things are drying out there might not be much of a second cut. Big rounds are priced around $15-$20.

Pairs up here arent bringing big bucks too bad you couldnt get them across the border cowboyup you could likely make quite a bit on them keeping htem for the summer and selling them in the fall.

Lots of hay in this area. We have alfalfa that will make 5+ tonnes per acre and a Brome stand that is "supposed to be pasture" but got away will make 6+ Tonnes per acre. Best hay crop ever in this area and pastures are getting away on the cows and then they get fussy. We ve got hayfields we...

Go speedrite they are a bit cheaper than gallagher and work just as damn good or better. We have about 6 of them.

Yeah I should be raising them, and maybe some rice...... :) :)
