[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1571383, member: 22236"] Something I have been thinking about the last couple of days. What is your opinion or experience on cow turnover/cull periods and the financial efficiency of such a period? I know I have a couple that I would hate to see go, mostly a few old cows I bought from Dad when I started, and maybe one that I raised. But, barring a sentimental reason, whats your turnover age, if you have one? I have some cows 10-12 yo that I have owned for six calves. Most are pretty good, a couple have foot issues, a couple with bag issues developing. At what point would it be financially beneficial to sell the cows? I am thinking 8 or 9 yo so that they may still bring something off the farm or at the barn. Just keep bringing hfrs in. On the other hand, it's hard to sell a cow that's still doing good and raising a good calf. The longer they last the more money they make. Until...they're down or dead, then you have no sale/salvage value. Edit: Commercial angus/angus cross cattle [/QUOTE]
