It’s the ole 20-80 rule
80% will still eat beef regardless, 20% think they will “force change “ …. LOL

The first steers I sold almost 25 years ago I averaged $806 a head and sold at 7 months of age, two weeks ago I sold 20 yearlings for a little less than double that, 25 years ago diesel was about 0.36 cents a litre, feed grain was under 2 bucks, new pickup was under 30 grand, land was sub 30 a quarter.

We aren’t winning but I’ll take it.

Yep new RD baler I bought in 78 was $6700.00 don't think that would cover pymts. on new one every 6 months. Son is flipping some backgrounders next week we will see how much money is in the market. The ones we put on grass could be money losers maybe insurance might be safe option.

I have watched a lot of land lose its fences that in todays market would be a nice payday.

Those fences aren’t coming back. Even if markets were like the 90’s where cattle pencilled better than grain I don’t see the present group of farmers interested going into or getting back into cattle. It’s a different era now.

Farm Investment Risk Return Initiative did this projection:



Trudeau and the Liberal NDP are setting up to destroy the livestock sector… making them bankrupt (24B$ loss by 2030) forcing us humans to eat plant based protein … to “save the planet “ from climate change!

Astounding… everyone else on the planet get off virtually Scott free with little radical change…

What insanity…. Sustainably, required Carbon taxation of $150/t… to decarbonize North America… while the rest of the planet do virtually next to nothing in reducing their greenhouse gasses.

How long will people in North America accept this prescription for the virtual suicide of our heritage, culture, and economic prosperity?

Blessings and Cheers!
