[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 469035, member: 5601"] MTplainsman, I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. ?????????????? Hummmmm? Let me put it this way. You need to stop right here and rethink your buying practices. When I buy a cow, I buy her based on what she should produce during the rest of her lifetime. Ie. 2,4,6 etc calves. And I know that if I pay $1,000 for the cow, she will need to produce at least two calves worth $500. each to break even and the third calf will be the beginning of showing a profit. So what’s wrong with holding onto them now that you should have reached the profitability stage of your investment? If some are just now showing their age they probably have at least 3 to 5 more good calves in them before they start having problems. So why sell them and go into hock to buy younger cows when you can wait 3 to 5 years and use those profits to pay cash for younger cows then? SL [/QUOTE]
