November 10Nov 10 We just sold a bunch of yearling steers and heifers weighing 500-650lbs for $300-$375/cwt. Averaged about $1950 ea which is really nice for us small scale cow/calf operations.
November 10Nov 10 The futures market continues to be nuts, locking limit higher across the board, 2 days after putting in fresh lows for the move, and after a sharp down move in early action. We are almost back to cash so maybe it calms down there.
November 17Nov 17 Bringing their cattle with them? What the fuck? Not to mention that he and his cronies shut down the very successful program that had screwflies bottled up in Panama. Does he think that insects don't cross borders unless they are smuggled? Dumbest bunch of motherfuckers alive.
November 17Nov 17 All these cattle and nine-tenths of the horses is stolen. And to think we was once respected lawmen.
November 20Nov 20 Hearing a lot of chatter this week that some feeders dug in their heels a little too much on selling and now we got some 1800-1900 pound steers that won't fit a packing line. That being said we might run 600K through this week which will be the biggest week in awhile so will see if the lots can get current, and the packers can move enough beef to get current.

I got my babies weaned. They’re starting to get their appetites back.
November 20Nov 20 It always warms my heart to see red cattle, as someone who grew up around a lot of red Gelbvieh before the Balancer stuff really took off.

I love reading your updates but don’t understand half of the jargon. Do you literally mean they can’t get some cows inside of…a chute or something? And it’s because they let them grow too big trying to get a higher price? Edited November 20Nov 20 by UT_OB1

The animal is gaining everyday under full feed, and guys really started to see dollar signs and went for it. Flip side is the packers paid up to keep going which encouraged them, and then didn't get all the meat moved as we came out of summer demand and now have to move a perishable product into ham and turkey holidays.

I’ll be damned. The more you know. So do you butcher the overweight cows by hand somewhere else or something?

November 21Nov 21 Tyson is closing the Lexington NE plant January 1st. Call it 3.5% of daily US capacity. Losing 3k direct jobs in a community of 10K. (A town that had doubled in size since the plant opened in 1990)

November 21Nov 21 I’ll note this town is 60% Hispanic population now too, with a significant African refugee community as well.

November 26Nov 26 Could the high beef prices be because we are using so much of it as turkey feed? Odd that turkey prices are still low with feed prices certainly going up.
November 27Nov 27 I’ll note that after locking limit lower Monday, cattle futures are back above where they closed last week.

December 4Dec 4 Sold another 20 head of yearlings off a different pasture a week ago. Avg $1900 for 550-600lbers. Nice chunk of income for operating partnerships.
