I hear the cow herd is at a sixty year low. What do you think? Time to buy calves?

Only if you have good pasture or can grow forage. No moisture, drought is kicking ass here.

High grain prices and last years drought have contributed to the low numbers here. I'm sure hoping for some good calf prices come fall.

Cattle prices are good, grass if grazed off because of drought, but winter wheat is up because of snow, stocker calf’s everywhere, sure makes you wonder if getting out of moma cows is smarter!

What kinds of losses in the herd are we going to see due to this unusual weather?
