[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1836245, member: 25299"] Yes or No: Take Heavy Bred Cows to Market? I have two heavy bred cows that I really don't like their looks and body comp. I got them as cow/calf pairs in 8/22. They can drop a calf next week or next month, I can't tell. More importantly they should have dropped a calf 4 months ago with the rest. I probably should have sold them back then, but it is what it is. Is it worth it to wait for the cows another 30 days, feed hay through winter, and sell in March as a cow/calf pair or should I just send them now and cut my losses? The body condition of the cows now is good (not excellent), but once they drop the calves they will drop weight and not look any better. I figure I can get around $1250 a head currently. [/QUOTE]
