The end of the spring 2012 bull sale season is rapidly closing in on us. It's been a fantastic run with record prices, plenty of enthusiasm, and quality next to none. Much of the area I travel is in need of rain but the forecast looks like that could happen soon. Calving has never been easier! Now we need grass to turn them out on. With current gas, fertilizer, and other input prices we'll need all the pounds we can get. There's lot's of speculation out there regarding feeder calf prices this summer. Like I've said before, it's supply and demand at it's finest but let's not let greed and ingorance get in the way of progress.
Can't speak for you but I'd whole lot rather talk about rain or lack thereof, high or low gas prices, how much a 600 pound calf might bring in July, or anything but all this election junk we're getting shoved up our alley on a daily basis. If you or I ran our operations the way most politicians run theirs, there'd for sure be too much bull to service the shrinking cow herd. I'd rather watch the grass grow!
