headed to the feedlots in western ks. Max Jantz excavation from Montezuma Ks hires welders alot. i worked for him for 13 years building fence... would stay in a feedlot for months at a time expanding the facility.

Or they might be headin to the Keystone line. If they had any 798 stickers, they'd prolly be headed there.

I have been seeing these trucks now for the last 2 weeks off and on. i know max jantz and im pretty sure that these guys are too good for the feed lots. there are some pretty slick looking rigs that have come through. most of us know a pipeline rig from just any regular welding rig. hahaha cuz most of us look at rigs like we look at women, and these were line rigs. didnt see any 798 stickers though.....

Yeah I wouldn't think there is much feedlot expansion going on right now anywhere the feeders aren't making any money. Here in Texas panhandle they have cut feedlot workers hours and running with skeleton crew and only patching fences not doing any expansion right now but they are keeping pens full because here in west side and eastern New Mexico and Colorado been very dry till this past week so no grass. First grass fire got rained out in a long time Saturday night.
