Absolutely insane prices coming out of Bassett NE yesterday! Abbott cattle broke the $6lbs mark. Thanks @TheHotBarn for covering prices live from the country instead of the board!
Ranch kids are raised different than most! I wouldn’t trust my 21 year old cousin with my keys, but you bet your ass I trust an 11 year old ranch hand who’s been driving most his life! It was great visiting with the Edgar family!
“Feels like they are screwing over the town. Restaurants, retail, and hotels all see a spike in business that week. Sales tax dollars add to the community.”
USD canceled their annual agreement with Vermillion’s Dakota Farm Show. Article below, thoughts?

@ne_rancher211 When has freaking out ever helped? It sucks, worse than sucks, but what would your dad or his dad do in this situation? Guarantee they wouldn’t be on a soap box bitching at anyone staying positive.
@RoosterKween “The vast majority of beef in stores is from other countries” followed by “you don’t need Mcool?” I think you answered your own question lol
Read it! Very powerful message from a young salebarn owner (and friend) trying to feed his family and serve his community and customers. No negative comments please. Albion Livestock (Albion, NE).
You mean pre-modern USDA data? You want to compare beef demand to a time when I could fill up my vehicle for a $10 bill? And the data you show up with is wrong again. it’s on fresh beef demand, not total. We don’t argue with dipshits around here. if it shuts you up I’ll change my statement to “a 45 year high.
@Remington0409 Good thing beef demand is still at an all time high. The consumer who is fine with paying $7 for a bag of chips is fine with paying the markets current prices for gods greatest protein.
@RoosterKween Irrelevant when beefs demand is at an all time high. There is no lack of demand at the moment. Hence the increasing prices with a decreasing herd size.
@phreatomagnetic I’m no math wiz, but $2.30 domestic beef turns into a $7/ lbs chuck roast… are you saying you’re buying beef for under a $1/lbs from other markets?
@phreatomagnetic Fats are going for like $2.20 right now and that’s $3 higher than the other guys? Please point me in the direction of the guys paying you to take their beef.
