[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1571388, member: 5381"] Lot of it has to do with the cull cow price and replacement price. When they are not bringing but .30 lb like they were just a few months ago, its kinda foolish to get rid of ol Betsy if shes bred and doesn't have any real bad problems except age. Now if the cull price is .55 to .60 like it has been lately on some, then it makes some since to trade and old short bred plus a couple hundred dollars for a newer model. If mine are calving on time they stay. Once they start slipping, I'm looking for an exit strategy. Ones with balloon teats go regardless. Bad temperament don't even get a second chance. I currently have one that is 15 years old and have one with only 3 working quarters. Both earned a chance to go another round. [/QUOTE]
