[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 320090, member: 4362"] I think your idea is sound in respect to making money. After all, what is a cull cow. I have sold some "older culls" that were three or four years old that just didn't fit my program. Nothing wrong with them and I didn't get diddly at the barn for them and I know plenty of people who have done the same. I did a little experiment this summer along these lines. Had a day to kill, so went to salebarn early and talked to people delivering cattle. Most would tell you all their reasons for getting rid of them - many were just concerned about feed or other minor things. Jotted numbers down and watched them sell. Sure enough, most sold for canner prices. Probably be hard to make a uniform herd this way without making several trips to the barn though. [/QUOTE]
