[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1278452, member: 22072"] One the sale chart this season off our ranch is........... Cow that prolapse after 3 months calving. Not sure what the heck was going on, but she's stitched up and i'm sure bred. Nice cow, maybe 6yrs old. Should bring top price. We have another in her prime cow with a nonworking udder, i'm sure will be bred. I'll have a handful of older cows that barely scraped by this winter, but once the grass grew they look pretty darn good and i'm sure they are bred. A few raised dinks, so off they go. The handful of cows that did not calve, will be tested and if open, they will be sold. If bred prices are up this fall, we'll cull a few more older cows and those might give a buyer one calf, but i really dont want them if we do get the forecasted winter we are suppose to have. We culled hard last fall when prices were so high. We dont have many cows older than 2006. Most of ours are now 2009 and younger, we've taken advantage of the bred cow frenzy at the sale barn the past few years. [/QUOTE]
