It is a good thing my wife has a pessimistic view on some things. We work well together. I bought another 18 bred cows out of a dispersal on Wednesday. Young cows for $1700 a round. The old yard manager was sitting beside me at ringside and asked what I was doing buying back after our reduction...
Next year……
A few timely rains will change the picture immensely. Kept heifer calves and bought more. Have bought some $280 hay. Kept pretty much every cow that was bred.
Calves were supposed to be higher this fall but drought got in the road. A huge percentage of cows went to kill and still...
Lower Mainland of B.C. got ten inches over the weekend. Couple of towns in the south central completely flooded. Thousands of animals died. Real mess. All highways leading north or east are washed out.
You must be getting to be better help………..hahaha
Cattle look especially good considering how dry it has been there. Next year…..
We have four bulls and a pair yet to locate.
We have mulies and blacktails here. Wolves and unregulated hunters don’t let many of them get that old. A short 20 years ago it was nothing to count 300 to 400 deer on a four hour trip to town. I saw 8 last Wednesday night.
We forward contracted our steer calves in February for $3 at 400 lbs with a 25 cent slide. Weight range can be 350 to 550. They will likely average about 490 across the board.
She got by Debbie last fall in the sorting alley and I let her stay. She has had two sets of twins in her stay here. No idea how old she is, she was a cow when she came here on a load back in 2015.
Ride easy Steve, cherish our phone visits and wish we could have met in person before you were called. My heart and prayers go out to the Moreland family. Thank you so much for sharing Steve with his so many friends and followers.
