I'm small potatoes to the western cattlemen, as I only have 25 cows. But, it gives me something to do, and it matters to me what the market is. I've watched the videos on RFD-TV many times, and found them a very interesting way to compare prices between there and here. We've had wonderful weather here, pasture has held up great all summer and looks good going into the fall. I'm thinking about taking some more ground out of crop production, and fencing it for more pasture. My only concern is cattle prices. It's hard to justify putting land that I'm getting $200 an acre rent money into pasture, if prices don't hold up. I heard an "expert", for what it's worth, on TV the other day predicting cattle prices were going to fall.
