We've gone through enough feeders to have learned not to obsess about how much we "could" have gotten. You could drive yourself crazy doing that. We know our costs, we know what we need, we know what it would take to make us happy, and if we hit all those marks, we take the money and move on. If not, well, there's always the next batch.

Would'a could'a is a bad road to go down.

Whatever prices do, they'll be above last year, I'd bet. There will be the occasional try by some at firing up some bad psychology, but that's likely just an attempt to drive down inputs. Put a scare out there, see if you can pick up some cheaper feeders. I still say the fundamentals haven't changed.

We farm between Manchester and Liverpool so
you could almost pass on your way to or from the
show.

Usually harvesting when Royal Welsh is on,but you
would be very welcome to visit if you are interested.

Royal Welsh is big livestock show do you have any
special reason for your visit .

Kato you sure said that well!, all my neighbours thought we were nuts for buying steers this fall. But we knew what our costs were going to be and we were carefull and in the end we did okay...had a few sleepless nights..LOL

We won't know until ours go, probably before the end of the month. Thanks to some serious bench time at the auction mart, Hubby kept the price in line, and the warm weather seems to have done good things for the gains.

It looks good for this batch, but we're really wondering if we have the nerve to replace them. As the prices get higher it gets scarier and scarier. We'll see.

Hey if the price drops even a little the cowcalf producer will see it as a wobble in the market get gittery feet and dump some of these so called replacements and way gone are any chance of rebuilding the cow herd. It is all about buy low sell high. So many good farmers got fleeced the last time and memories may be short for some but not all..

Not a moderator any more but information is still hardwired into the Agriville system.

Royal Welsh is the place then, never been but seen it
on TV. Some of the pony classes are enormous. Have
you been before?

I have sent Charlie an email so feel free to contact me
if want to visit. We grow feed wheat ,malting barley,
canola, oats and haylage for horses.

I see it is the end of July this year so we should be
harvesting barley or canola around then.
