Here's an idea how desperate Holstein heifer dealers are getting... a young guy here thought he'd buy some fresh heifers at these low prices and feed some calves from them since he doesn't have quota. Called a dealer and told them his plan and made a deal to buy 10 fresh heifers at $1000 each.
When the truck showed up, they were so glad to sell heifers to somebody to get them out of the barn yard that they had 35 bull calves loaded in the truck that they gave him for free to seal the deal.
This same dealer is spending $6000 a day feeding heifers that should have been south in May and June
