So we found a picture of Jesus and put it over the hole on the bathroom door. They soon came home and Mom said to Dad, “Look how nice these boys are! ” About a month went by before Mom thought that wasn’t a real good place for a Jesus picture and then discovered the hole.

MAY 13, 2013 —Finding breakeven in challenging times

(May 8)—Frustrating is one word that comes to mind when thinking about the cattle market lately. Several years ago everyone feeding cattle planned on making money on every turn of cattle. Then a lot of independent feedlots were content with hedging their cattle for a breakeven and let the feedlot that they owned make the small consistent profit. [Read More]

” I was meaning taking number 121 out of the bull I wanted and putting it in another bull. The next day he delivered my bull to the pens at my house. He said, “I started to do what you suggested, only I started to switch your bull’s ear tag and give you a sorry bull. [Read More]



APR 29, 2013 —Just a scoop full

(April 24)—My sister brought it to my attention that Country Woman magazine for the April and May 2013 issue ran an article about going meatless on Mondays. I wonder if Country Woman magazine doesn’t realize that the majority of its readers have ties to country life? Beef is a very high-quality protein and 29 cuts of beef meet USDA guidelines for lean beef. [Read More]

But I do mind if the futures completely controls the market and we drift lower simply because traders are trading only numbers that have nothing to do with cattle. I would say the only cattle feeders who have made any money in the feedlot in a long time are the ones who are partners with the packing houses and share in their profit. I say they probably couldn't care less about the smaller feedlots and cattle feeders. [Read More]



APR 15, 2013 —Just a Scoop Full

(April 10)—The Northwest Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association had its spring all breed heifer, cow and bull sale at the Woodward Livestock Auction this past week. He found the Baptist preacher and asked him how much he would charge him to preach a funeral for his dog. The Baptist preacher was very nervous about this idea and told this man he was extremely busy and suggested he go down the street to the Catholic church. [Read More]



APR 8, 2013 —Just a scoop full

I kept thinking we were over doing the cattle market when it started falling, causing lots of cattlemen to lose faith fast. The cattleman selling feeder cattle had done quite well for two or three years but just recently were barely getting the first cost back when selling feeders, as they cost a lot as calves. There was expected to be a little over 5 billion bushels on hand and we showed 5.39 billion bushels of corn, which is close to 400 million bushels more corn on hand than they thought...

He said unless it started raining a lot and very soon, there would be a lot of cows sold out of that area. He said, “Ma’am, I charge $300 per month plus the manure. He finally said to her, “OK, I will charge you $200 per month and the manure. [Read More]

In other words, more money in the bog boys' pockets. He laughed at my hesitation and said, "No, she is a very tiny woman and I have gained real well." [Read More]



MAR 18, 2013 —Just a scoop full

(March 13)--Every day this past week the wheat looks better. In a normal year coming off wheat we would have four or five weeks as large as these two weeks will be. If you count two large weeks plus almost no one had a sale the week before, and the two weeks before that were very small and average all five weeks together--those numbers would average about 3,000 less than a normal wheat run.
