Theyll be high for a while. I doubt they ever get cheap again IMO. If you buy them right, a cow will be paid off with 2 calves if your expenses arent too crazy. Im seeing breds for $3k still, here and there. Buying one thats culled for age, but is still producing. Better than buying a heifer. Both cheaper and makes a better foundation from which to build a herd.

The lazers do sound, potentially, much more biologically friendly than the current approaches. It could be a step in a better direction. I just know we have seriously damaged our soils the last 80 or so years.

All these ag problems can be fixed through management. Fallow ground is terrible. Tilling is terrible. Over/continuous grazing is terrible. All these chemicals are terrible. All the above practices have led to massive amounts of soil erosion, soil compaction, loss of soil fungal networks, massive disruption to the natural nutrient and water cycles, and the loss of thousands and thousands of farms/producers.

They really screwed things up in the 40s and 50s with the implementation of chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Working WITH nature is so much more advantageous than working AGAINST it. Livestock need to be brought back onto crop land... itd be a game changer.

Lasers are an improvement from chemicals i feel like, but we wont know until they have been used for a few years.
