As per title of this thread. The end is when one starts to depend too much on chemical inputs that big companies keep jacking the price up on. 10 years ago here the price of 32 0 0 got to $700 per metric ton. At that time it cost $70 to make a ton.

One man bought the first load and then as his option stated, he took the next 3 loads for the same money. These pairs calved in a 45 day window. Uniformity sells.

We calve 130 to 200 heifers every year in 30 to 45 days. Yes it can be a lot of work but uniformity in calves sells. Add in the fact that a heifer that is a shy breeder will nearly always be a shy breeder. Late cows have smaller calves at shipping time and I am thinking a far bigger share of...

Exactly how to start out wrong, buy heifers with a 5 month calving window. If they can’t breed in 45 days they need their heads cut off.

The profits on these high value cattle are better than any feeder cattle we have ever owned.

Took 4 cull bulls and a cow to Kamloops sale as there won't be one in WL until late July. Cattle sold well considering the crew neglected to pull them off feed in early morning. Came home with 6 steers and 3 older pairs that my buyer friend had stranded in WL yards. 1600 lb cows with 200 lb...

We played roulette with an unvaccinated part Jersey a month ago. Intranasal and Draxxin on arrival, she was sick two days later. We treated her with pretty much everything we could but she made her way to the bait pile and left us another orphan calf 3 weeks after we bought her.

No vaccines, no come home

We did fine.

Hoping they ring a bell.

If too full here they will dial it back enough to overcompensate. Sometimes not enough even then.

We will keep as many heifers as we normally do. Cow herd will get thinned a bunch.

If you are solvent enough to hang on all you need is time with cows or heifers. Steers are another story, only one way for them to go.
