[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1426266, member: 21715"] He knows the first several years would be heavy culling. He would sell a calf crop, just that it'd happen at a different time and for different reasons. All replacements are home grown. The previous year's bull calves are sold in tact after breeding everything the next year. The fastest growing, best structured, most fertile, highest libido bull calves will breed the majority of the females. All open females are sold after preg checking. So open heifers born the previous year are sold at approximately 19 months. Open cows are sold at whatever age they don't breed back. ... maybe he determines a way to sell (say) the bottom half of his bulls to save in wintering costs ... Again, I'm not interested in his program, but I found the idea quite thought provoking and thought is share it with you. [/QUOTE]
