My rain insurance guy is meeting with me Thursday. I still have my calves. Of course I held onto them after the peak. I will probably listen a little closer to his LRP pitch this time.
Still historically high at least. Next falls calves I would worry about though. Will have to see what they say about reopening the border this week.

With all the political stuff futures have been a mess with 4 limit lower moves in 7 sessions in feeders includes expanded limit lower today to put us about 10% lower in that time frame. Meanwhile boxed beef is up about 3%

I wanted a spot to note my niece finished 3rd in Wyoming 2A state Cross Country as a freshman.

Caught another wave of buying to take fats and feeders back to all time highs despite up front softness in live cattle.

Isn't Arizona a big failson/daughter school?

They’re feeding cattle on rolled concrete.That's what the he was asking about.

In another sign of where we are at sentiment, I had my first client tell me he wants to put down fresh concrete for his feedlot pens.

We had a cross between Salers and Brahman cattle. They were good.
I'd also assume they had a poor disposition and didn't respect a fence.

Was 25 years ago, but I think my meat science professor said something like 80% of Holstein steers would grade choice, it just takes them forever to get there. And that was well-before all of the genetic improvements these last few years especially.
Right, just give up some time on the turn, but you get them cheaper.

Great marketing to use Holstein (dairy cows) to advocate for less beef consumption......;)
#cowfacts
If you buy meat at Wal-mart, you are eating a Holstein cross most of the time. Lot of guys in the upper midwest feed dairy steers because that's what available locally. And that's before even touching cull cows.

On the buffalo note, a guy back home raised them for awhile. He tried to doctor a sick one once and it chased Doyle around while he was on his three wheeler until the buffalo keeled over from exhaustion.

What does that mean in lay terms? I get the gist of the post, but am unfamiliar with "puking cuts". That mean they are producing a lot of them..streaming from the slaughterhouse like puke?
Means they are taking any offer to get any cut of beef moved cause slow demand is backing things up even with tight supply.

I'd also like to note that boxed beef was sharply lower again this morning with packers puking cuts, with live cattle futures 350 to 400 lower and feeder off 700 to 800

Boxed beef prices have been backing up a bit as we get out of grilling season and the consumer has turned up their nose at the higher prices of beef. Starting to see packers discount to move into retail channels a bit.

Eat more pork.
No better value out there than a good pork loin.

That makes sense. But of course the US is about 62% larger in population in 2020, compared to 1970, so the absolute consumption won't have dipped too much.
Also we finish animals to a much higher weight than we used too.

At what point does McDonald's and other companies that rely heavily on beef not go all-in on buying up a shitload of farms and ranches and growing their own, like Tyson? (For all I know McDonald's, etc. may already do that).
Wal-Mart has made steps in that direction with the new packing plant in North Platte effectively only killing smaller dairy crosses just for them with a large new all cement outdoor lot in Dundy County anchoring supply for them. But Wal-Mart doesn't own either as of now. Integrating cattle is harder because of the labor and space required. There has been some looks at confinement cow-calf but it really hasn't taken off. (I've kicked the tires on putting up a hoop set up for myself, but can't shake the attitude if I go that far, I might as well get into dairying)

I hope they let Trev run it because he'll find away to do something to piss everyone off further, along with being financially irresponsible.

There are several schools that run those systems but Conway has been single wing for years with a lot of success. They ended our State dreams several times over the years.
The last two years they’ve beat other single wing schools in the finals in Jeff North and Centralia. Both very quick games when nobody passes.

Do your nephews play for or against Conway Springs?
For. It was Conway vs. Garden Plain, which is where my wife and her siblings are from originally

I’m watching a stream of my nephews play high school ball in Kansas tonight and it’s a single wing teams vs. a wing-t team and it’s fun seeing both teams just jam all 11 guys into the box and go full cro-mag football

Was it confirmed that the shooter was a Mormon?
They are waiting for the tests to come back for the amount of cream and extras in his Dr. Pepper before confirming.

Yeah, don't watch the video but he was gone gone instantly - anyone talking about him being alive yesterday was just being optimistic and hoping.
Very much like taking JFK in and working on him in Dallas for a bit before calling it.

We are into the seasonal peak of pork production right now. (It's why this is usually McRib time of year) and bird flu isn't rolling for the season yet. Also biology allows you to ramp production so much faster, and we have some slack packing capacity in both.
