[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 320184, member: 1346"] This is what we did back in November, ten of the 17 head were aged as "old". We vacinnated and I wormed them for double their weight (I figured they probably hadn't been wormed for at least six months or maybe even a year or more). All ten of them are doing very well and have picked up weight, slicked off nice and I'm beginning to wonder if maybe they were on a rough, rocky pasture that wore their teeth down instead of them being "old" cows. We bought them in 2nd and 3rd period though and that's something you'll have to figure for yourself whether its more profitable to buy the old bred cows or just the old open cows. I was told to watch the old cows and as long as they kept their condition fine, but when they started losing bcs then it would be time to ship em. Hopefully we'll be able to raise about 3 calves on em before that happens. [/QUOTE]
