Saturday

in my area it was massive sell-offs due to drought the last couple years, covid wierdness, and shut down of imported cattle from Mexico because of screw worm flies.

this year is first in my memory that drought sell-off happened with decent prices due to cattle shortage. usually it is a demoralizing glut and low prices when drought causes destocking.
