[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1808786, member: 25884"] We have bought many cows at the stockyards... and often buy the "lower end" and very often buy the older ones... Like [USER=498]@Dave[/USER] they are often one and dones although we do not have the direct to on the rail type situation he does... BUT.... we will many times raise up their heifers and if decent, become future brood cows. I am with [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER] on that one... they don't get old being mediocre... especially when they are in smaller herd dispersals or someone having to cut numbers. Buried a few also, but for the most part, haven't done too bad over the years... they get fed a little "better" over the winter if we get them in the fall... silage and/or some grain... often kept with the weaned heifers so they get watched over a little better... Worked our way up to 150 head of brood cows... NOPE they aren't all near as nice as many pictures of some herds on here... like [USER=24027]@TCRanch[/USER] 's nice looking cows... but their purpose is to make money to make payments... and in times like this, they make money even if they get culled in the end...
