[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1656699, member: 14161"] Best not to keep a cow until the kill plant is the only stop for her. We market our cows as bred 8 to 10 year olds and let someone else worry about salvage value. Most years it has made sense to sell open cows as soon after preg test as possible. This isn’t one of those years. Fats are still backed up a bit and feed is cheap. We kept our open cows and bought 100 more mid age cows that we will market through late January through February. Value has already increased 10 cents on them in the last 6 weeks. [/QUOTE]
