[QUOTE="Isomade, post: 798969, member: 13135"] The two things that come to mind cypress are #1 longevity, could this shorten her productive years by a year or two due to wear and tear? And #2 what will be the net of the overall calves? Historically,(until this year there has been an average if 15 cents/lb premium for spring sold calves versus fall sold calves. If these two things hold true would you really come out ahead? If your cow produces 12 calves in 10 years, and mine produces 12 calves in 12 years, you average 1.05/lb ( you will have some sell in spring) and I average 1.15, your 550lb calves $577.50 mine average 632.50. You sell $6930 and I sell $7590 worth. That is only $660 difference. But you have to replace a cow 2 years sooner. I struggle with this question constantly. I have no answer. Like you I am always running numbers. Currently I pull the bulls. My dad thinks pulling his bulls is ludicrous. I just don't know. [/QUOTE]
