[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1840373, member: 25299"] Well, the cows look a lot bigger than they looked on Jan 11 when posted this thread, but still no calves.🤣🤣🤣 So when I got them in early August 2022, they were sacks of bones with calves on the side. If you recall, 2022 was when everyone was selling herds in Texas due to the drought: so no grass and crappy hay that winter. One dropped a calf in late October 2022, the rest were not bred. The cows were dry and the calves weren't much to look at. I sold the calves in Jan 2023 once they got more weight. I got 70% of my money back. I was counting on the cows getting bred again by December once they put on weight, so I was expecting them calve by September/October, 2023. I n hind sight I should have sold them then. Now, I'll wait for the calves to drop, and sell the cows and calves once they wean. There is no point to selling them as pairs in March just before all the grass comes out. I rather wait until August 2024 to sell both. [/QUOTE]
