Not in this market. We're up to at least 50 sell out posts now.
That’s a lot! Why do you think so many are selling out? I see people selling their flocks on the Katahdin FB groups, but nowhere near that many. My thoughts, I believe the economy, with high inflation and high costs of everything, are making people taking a serious look at what they are spending money on. Feed, Hay, goodbye sheep.

Dang cute pics like that make me want a moo or too. But I hope I know better :lol: reading about cows and goats getting out remind me I should be good just the way it is here. :ducOh and the cute bunny pics :ep:lol:
Having them all and sheep, I'd say the goats are h=ll. But cattle are easy to contain with a hot wire or three.

Yes, all of that, plus the droughts and the registry dramas.
Plus, the general quitters who buy for cute wittle sheep looks, then give up after 1-4 years. These are constant. Thy usually hate the shearing and didn't research it, thought they'd be like goats/overly in your face like dogs, easy to contain, shouldn't of gotten any livestock to begin with/thought they could be farmers but didn't have it in them.
Also, the market might be finally bottoming out.

Looks like the bull is "scheduled", for a cold day. Lol, in Va, idk wtf that means. Doesn't stay freezing for long.

Heck of a lot of ground beef. I'll need to look up wtf to do with that much ground meat....Anyone care to add to the list??
Burger
Lasagna
Tacos
Macncheese w/ground
???


Sad time, but at least I can have them all together, in with sheep and I won't have to stay out of the pasture any longer nor jump fences and carefully run him through paddocks and such!
Can only home steer Guiller-moo stays mellow. He's such a cutie, always stuck with mean Zim....Would be nice for him to enjoy being a pet without anyone shoving him around with horns. 🫠

Can it. SOOO convenient to just open a jar & warm when a recipe calls for browned ground beef.

In soups, on salads, in baked beans, in scrambled eggs w/cheese, toss in food processor with pickles, mayo, ketchup, shred cheese & make cheeseburger spread for sandwiches, top a baked potato, nachos,.....
