Then deduct the cost of hay feed wages and stay awake nights wondering if will break even at at end of the year. There is no gurantees.

Dennis,
Yesterday's settlement prices for feeder cattle futures were as follows:
May 2011 -- $128/cwt.
August 2011 -- $132.30/cwt.
Check here for some info (dated) on the feeder cattle basis in Georgia: Marketing and Pricing Publications

I just don’t see the prices going down much in the immediate future. Good year for commercial cattlemen. Tough for those running stockers, or feedlots, or anyone who depends on buying cattle and/or feed.

So farm we have 62 babies on the ground and doing well. The hay here in Central Ky is awful. It is running about 1 month late and not good quality. Almost all new seedings and hay field fertilizer got washed away. Hay supply may be short this winter? Ken Sweet
