A combination of extreme heat and extreme humidity are being blamed according to what was on ag day news. The size/weight of them maybe part of issue. It happened in W C Iowa about 25 years ago, 105 by 3pm, clear sky, very humid, no wind. Luckily the small town volunteer fire departments were running to farms hoseiing down cattle & the lots. Neighbor lost around 100 head that were nearly market ready, quite a few other also. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF. D17 Blackbar grill, NF. D15 SFW. Case 1175 CAH, Bobcat 543B, |

Hadn't heard about this "angle" of things. Why? I mean, I can put together lots of reasons why: Price of fertilizer, price of fuel, relatively "high" sale price of these momma cows, price of feed, lack of feedlot labor. . . . But, is there a biggest factor or other factor driving this?

From area from Texas to the Dakotas west to the Pacific has been in drought. From a year to 3 years. That is home to about half the beef cows in the USA. Most all that area shipped 10% more than normal of there cows last season, some way over 50%. In my own case we finally kept a few heifers, just because we have dropped cow numbers for 3 years. Right now as hay is being baled here $300 a ton is cheap hay, really good hay is $400 and up.

| Talk about the looming food crisis. . . . . and pumping the aquifer dry to keep going. It's going to implode. Feeders ~ 1.75 right now. Which, is nice for me, but man what's coming in the next few years. |

Foot and Mouth desdiese cattle out of Brazil by JBS. Mystery meat from Australia that has a good bit of kangaroo ( don't laugh they got caught doing it before) A mix of chemical out of a lab, that is labeled lab grown meat ALMOST forgot plant proteins combined with mystery chemicals called veg looks like meat

| Like Ray I believe it is mostly drought and the fact that younger generations don’t like calving cows at 3:00 am on a nice frosty January morning |

About 25, 30 years ago, it was a real hot Sunday, high humidity, and about 5:00 that evening, the wind just stopped, no breeze, nothing. Cattle just started dropping dead. I know of one operation, that lost about 5% of the herd. |

in the olden days where cattle were fed corn; death loss was expected. in today's world with feeding gluten; death loss is almost unheard of! |

| Drought is the biggest reason for the herd reduction. The guy I help we have a couple of extra cows that will be hamburger by year's end. But we keep the herd size at a constant number.. |

| My neighbor that was a dairy farmer never lost any due to heat. His pastures usually had a couple ponds and a creek ran through it also. He did loose a big holstein bull to lightening 1 night though. |
