Oh, I wish we were in the market for a cow but we're in no way prepared for that yet. Maybe someday...

Around here several of the sale barns are having to turn away a lot of the cows come sale day. They don't have enough room to hold all of them. One of the guys here local said that if he had the room and the time, he could sell four or five times as many as he regularly does. One of the real mysteries is what with so many cows being sold, why is the price of beef in supermarkets not going down. Yeah right, like it is a big mystery, someone is making a large wind fall profit. !
