There is some apprehension about when the market will correct itself and who will be caught with expensive feeder calves. We should enjoy high feeder calf prices for a while given current market conditions. That said, the market will correct itself. When and how much are the real questions?

Winter has definitely made its appearance and it’s time to make sure Cows and Calves adjust without a hitch

Who knows where it will take us after that, but you can’t escape the winter months ahead.
