Tough one... Lets see, 1985 was really good. I was getting ready to graduate high school, cows were cheap in the fall of 84. My dad was working and travelling a lot so I was pretty much running the place. We bought 500 cheap, thin, broken mouthed head cows that fall. Fed hay rough hay, and I mean rough that we had rolled on the shares. Used that snazzy new Ivomec pour on that had just come out (no one here ever dewormed cows) fed them the hay and thin stillage from the Wild Turkey distillery. Drove the old tanker truck to school every day..... That spring they had doubled in size, 100 of them had calved, and the pound market had gone gang busters. Bought a new haybine, a new round baler, a new pickup, and a new bass boat plus had money in my pocket all year.

Didn't hit that good again until 2010. The drought in Texas pushed a lot of buyers this way, and I'd come out of 2009 with half my hay production still in the barn. We had a good year, bought plenty of hay cheap too. Been pretty good ever since. ...
