My brother was just down there this last week. He has bought 750 pairs straight of the ranch. HE has over 1500 rolls of hay and two three hundred foot corn silage bags to feed them on. He usually feeds a lot of steers but this last year the corn/feeder/beef price would not show a profit for him. So he just sit on his feed. He will make good money on these cattle. He plans to ween the calves as soon as they are going good. He then will pour the feed to those skinny momma cow. They will get healthy fast that way. He will breed them back. He will have them to sale as breed cattle next spring. I did that six years ago when the Dakotas where so dry. It is a lot of work but you can make good money at it. Plus it breaks my heart to see young momma cows go to slaughter.
