[QUOTE="USAxBrad, post: 1387046, member: 25689"] So your saying you would cull any of your cows that have just 1 bad birth? You don't give them a 2nd shot? I appreciate your feed back. As I am just starting out I don't want to keep having problems down the road so I do want to start fine tuning my herd but that won't come until the next round when my bull as bred the cows and I can have a better idea. None of my cows were bought from a sale barn, both lots, black spring calvers and red fall calvers, reds were bought off of farms from knowledgeable and experienced producers and took someone of the same caliber to look at them before I bought them. The reds aren't as nice as my blacks but the deal was good on them for 3n1s and liked the way the calves looked out of the Charolais. Anyway I have successfully grafted on the calf and will try to get her bred, my guess a bred cow with a calf on her side will bring better money than an open cow with no calf at the sale barn if I decide to Cull her which I haven't decided yet, will wait till spring. I also recieved the experience of grafting on a calf. Still learning and very open minded. This board helps in many different ways and am thankful for that. It's easier to ask for advice on here instead of always having to call more experienced cattlemen and women who are probably tired of seeing my name pop up on their caller ID. [/QUOTE]
