[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1546606, member: 498"] I knew a guy (he has past) who when prices were high he sold all his calves. I mean 100% as in he kept no replacement heifers. He would also sell the older half of his cows. When prices dropped he kept way more replacements than normal wisdom called for because he built his herd back up with cheap heifers. This is on western range land which benefits from occasional years off to rest and rejuvenate. He did very well for himself in doing this. The cattle cycle isn't as easy to predict as it was some years back but there are signs a person can and should watch. The difficult part is selling when they are high. People think they will get another year. I know I am guilty of this myself. [/QUOTE]
