If your whole area is short on feed, could be the feeder calf market is simply down in your entire area as too many producers are all selling off excess animals at the same time?
Traditionally, feeding livestock have been a way for smaller farms to add value to their low value feed and excess labor. In years of short feed or high priced feed it can pay off big time to sell off excess animal as early as possible even at reduced prices and more than make up the shortfall by selling off the no longer needed feed at a high price.
I wonder if feeder calf market is a bit inflated in other areas where farm income was high this year. With a shortage of new new machinery and new pickups on dealer lots, are some farmers instead buying up seed, fertilizer, pesticides, and maybe feeder cattle at high prices now to spend down some of 2021's extra income and reduce their 2021 income tax payments?
