I feel so bad for Texas residents! Nothing will rip the guts out of ya like running your herd through a sale barn. I don’t think non livestock owners understand what that does to a person.
I read that livestock farmers are selling herds off in droves. So much so that some sale barns have had to turn animals away because they just had too many at once.
Like the article says, it takes a couple of years to get steers to the butcher. These guys are selling off breeding stock too. That means we could see some really high priced meat before the herds get replenished. Oh wait..I’m sure we could chew on some imported meat!?!?!?

I sold my cattle several years back. I took them to the salebarn when the price was high. When I returned home, I noticed the emptyness of the field and felt a loss, and became depressed for a while.
