[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1799318, member: 42731"] I don't know that I'd sell out entirely and start over from scratch, with cow prices like they are right now your buy-in price won't be recovered for a long time. Selection takes time and effort, there are very few, if any quick solution one-stop-shops in livestock, and whatever they might be they will be expensive enough for only rich men to talk about doing. You're cutting your own hay, the land is presumably paid for, and you're looking at animals with their legs pointing down, you're already ahead of the curve as is. Do some culling as you see it needed and buy solid replacement (cows, not heifers because it sounds like y'all leave the bull in, but that's my opinion). Some of what you have may be gold, some may not be, the only way to know is in the doing. Good replacements would be cheap if you found them under $1,400 right now, fine enough for one or two or three or five but I sure as shi7 wouldn't want to buy 20 of them in this economy and weather pattern.
