[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1717305, member: 4063"] My 10% figure was after all of the other culling had taken place; bad feet, bad udders, fail to breed back/open, etc. then take the bottom 10% weaning weight ratio off afterwards. I also realize that heifer development is an added expense and how much expense you can handle is an individual decision for each operation. If you can do 15% that's great but if the cull rate is already 13%, can you afford to do 13% + 15% = 28%, even my figure of 13% + 10% = 23% is really pushing the limit. But I think we're thinking along the same lines here. [/QUOTE]
