[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1660777, member: 498"] I do believe that timing is important no matter what age you cull at. An old cow should be shipped the day the calf is weaned. Why put feed into a cull? The only exceptions to that rule are if you approaching a time when the market historically increases or you have inexpensive feed for a cheap weight gain. Why carry a cull half way through the winter when feed is expensive? Why ship a cull who is 8 months bred? (I am personally glad people do this) How much does it cost to carry her through calving? How much more is she worth as a pair or a split? How culls are managed is an important portion of the income to any cattle operation. [/QUOTE]
