My world is changing now that the election is over and Biden is in. We just sold 30% of our breeder Cows, so our Cattle herd size matches our land/feed we own. With land being bought up at record prices and volume, I don't trust the local Farms will be there a year from now to supply the feed needed that I buy-in. Plus, with the Green New Deal, will beef have a market outside of direct sales? The Dems broke the system; hang on to your hat. It's going to get real bad. Sad Farmer!!!
@PRF
Are your cows grain or grass fed? If 100% grass or pasture fed using rotation, there is a market for that. It's better for us & the environment too. Puts carbon back into soil (roots), holds more water, cows are usually healthier on grass instead of grains. The EFA ratio is much better for us too.
I understand your concern w/all of the bs the Dems are doing, the "Green Deal" is nuts, if they truly understood sustainability, ie 7 generations forward, they would trash it.
