[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1820767, member: 25884"] Been lines at the local stockyard the last 2-3 weeks... first time I've seen the lines in a long time... We've got right about 60 weaned off cows here at the barn lots getting bunk broke and fed some. Not sure when he wants to sell any but doubt it will be with the glut coming to sales now. The cows had pretty much dried up, and already weaned the calves themselves, and they had plenty of grass at the pastures so left them out there for as long as we dared. The first group of cows are calving a little sooner than we expected...thought they would be first of Oct but already have 11 on the ground out of 25 or so.... the next 2 groups ought to be coming middle of Oct-Nov... I will start going in to watch prices some also... and want to go to the monthly bred cow sale in a couple weeks to see how things are doing there. Always looking for a bargain or 2.... if I can pick up a few odd balls at decent (cheap) prices, we have plenty of hay and corn silage to feed... might be able to find some that are thin... it was alot drier north of here and hay there is in short supply. Pastures burnt up this summer, and it is late for fall grass to come along even with the recent rains.... I don't know what the prices are going to look like but I told son that I think they will hold into spring of '24; but I am not sure with the economy if they will hold much after that even with the diminishing numbers. I would like to sell more off this fall and next spring and then see.... the thing that is concerning me is I see oil/fuel prices starting to climb again... and that is going to hurt EVERYTHING if they continue to climb.
