[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 435695, member: 1258"] Things are different here, again we have real winter, not just the pretend Louisanna stuff.;) You and I comparing operations would be like comparing apples to oranges so I won't even get into it. I did notice in your post that you said you have 250+ cattle. You also said you don't keep any calves but you sell 200 calves. Am I reading this wrong or are you actually losing one fifth of your calves every year? :shock: One comment on vaccines. We do vaccinate, always. It can be a waste of money but it is insurance. I was just reading in the paper about a family, dad had a good job they weren't super poor and they had a house fire. No insurance, it seemed to them to be "an unecessary expense." They wish they had paid it now. It's the same thing with vaccinating a herd, if everything is going well it is a waste of money but there are people who have lost their entire herd to something they could have vaccinated against.
