[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 667728, member: 7233"] Can you explain that more, is it because they lose udder soundness or don't rebreed? We rely on whatever grows between Feb - April/May to last us until the following year and we supplement with hay in the fall and winter. I'm about to cull a 1,600 lb cow that always looks fat, is low milking, and produces calves that are average to below average. Even though she's big and looks good, there's nothing efficient about her. It's hard to believe she could really be lower input than one of my 1,200 lb cows and her output isn't anything impressive. A reminder why diversity is so valuable. Forage quality and quantity and climatic conditions can change, even within one area over time and it's nice to be able to adjust our animals accordingly if needed. Thanks for the good post. [/QUOTE]
