While no one was looking, we down south flooded the market with drought cattle and calves. The southeast has been unloading since June. Got worse in Sept. and Oct. Our local sale barn on a normal year would avg. about 1,100 head per week. For 6 weeks they were packed with 3,000 per week. That's just the one near me. It's like that west of here to about the Mississippi and south into Florida. Calves I normally sell in Jan. - Feb I sold in the first of Oct.

Whole lot of 15-50 head cows on farms all through the southeast. It adds up. Last figure I saw on NC. was 900,000 head. Don't know how many are left now.
Sorry we had to do that but no rain,no hay, no grazing adds up to selling. I look for another big selloff soon. Feed and fertilizer prices going through the roof. Still in drought. It ain't over yet.
