[QUOTE="BrangusUSA, post: 1447544, member: 29753"] We run a cow/calf operation of almost 150 head. Cows are shipped to the sale barn when they reach 8 unless they are in super condition and still producing then we will keep them to 10 years old. Calves are shipped spring/fall. Keep replacement heifers as needed. "Does anything ever die?" No momma cows die because we cull before they get old and we breed for birthing ease. A bull calf died two years ago but it was very premature. A heifer died five years ago while giving birth. We don't bring them in to the barn or anything for calving. The barn is for hay storage. Was not aware that anybody with large herds brought cows in for birth unless it was up north in the cold. It works for us. Minimal expense and good records make it profitable for us. Might not work for you. Might not be the best way. But we haven't had problems with blackleg, etc. [/QUOTE]
