Here in the Midwest we had 90 days drought during crops growing and they were eating out grass pasture and hay supplies way earlier and heavier. I think a lot of folks are going to get forced to do a Xtra culling of heifers. It's going to be really tight on forages. Then about another 69 days of drought all during harvest. Now we are just starting to get some moisture and the grass ain't growing currently
2 types of dairies. those that are going out of business and those that dont know they are going out of business. a dairy cow is averaging 3-5 calves in its life time and the first calf is a beef on dairy. if it turns out to be a good cow. they get bred with sexed semen. i dont know how many of us that were wiped out during teh trade war, but it was alot, maybe 2/3s
@@sandsockDairy cow numbers have remained incredibly steady the last 30 years, and I i see no reason for that to change much. The cows will be in fewer, larger herds, but dairy is going nowhere anytime soon. The new milk and dairy products plants coming on line in many areas assures this.
The dairy cow has one calf a year. Exactly sir. Folks are getting too wound up about the impact of beef on dairy. The dairy herd will not increase in size just to make beef calves.

Gift from feeder flash unboxing video will be up this morning on my channel. Thanks for such a great gift!
Here in Alberta on dlms, they sold two hundred 446lb calves for $5.95 lb!!! In Canadian peso’s, but still exciting to see.
how does that work, cause doing the exchange rates. that is $2653.70 for a 446LB calf
@ doesn’t work, but I sold calves a week ago, thats what stuff is bringing, except they are $100 higher than when I sold.
@ knock off roughly $0.30 a dollar to convert it to American. In rough figuring, something just over $4.00 lb American greenback.
@@sandsockactually 1910 USD
I’ve never had a order buyer say that he couldn’t find any calves
Also, isn't the dairy herd a lot smaller than it used to be?

USDA manipulation of the number's this is one of the reasons they want EID tags
