if the cow prices keep on going way up it wouldnt be a bad idea to sell them all and either cut hay off your pasture land to sell or make a deal to run someone elses cows/stockers on your land and you take care of them for x dollars per head per month. maybe do that for a year or 2 until the...
i wish i had about 100 of them i would turn them out on some clearcut timber land let them eat poplar and maple stump shoots and honey suckle all summer
