@KenSchaus I've seen warbles on cattle when i was a kid. Pretty gross process through the animal after eggs are laid. And can cause meat and hide damage too. Wouldn't wish that on anybody.

@KenSchaus Good commentary from Farm Credit.
Breaking down from that trading range doesn't look good from here. Strong oil and gas markets most likely aren't enough to save it.

@islandviewag @MikeOnMachines There were some 5000s in my area along with some guys who had Ford industrial tractors with backhoes.

@FoodProfessor Beef producers differ with you.

Producers are looking forward to seeing the pull for cattle that comes from this.” Craig Lehr, BCRC and Chair of the Beef Advisors “Continued research to support producer competitiveness in a higher cost structure is key to future expansion.”

@KenSchaus Nice looking cattle. You always seem to get the most perfect one in the foreground.🐂🥩👍

@FoodProfessor He talks in generalities as usual. He's never worked in the industry. What exactly are you talking about? List all problem regulations and higher costs associated here.

@12thman76481378 @KenSchaus Funny historical story. The early explorers believed the great sea to China could be accessed from the Great Lakes. One explorer driven mad by black flies thought he had reached the Great Sea of China at the Lake Huron Shores. This happened in many other places too.

@EVOmshulman Yes I have. Apparently, they don't sell even a single corn picker anymore. My dad used to feed ground corn cobs. Cob corn is miserable from beginning to end, and corn pickers broke down all the time.

And a lot of times cobs got moldy in the cribs adding to the misery.
