[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1660906, member: 968"] There are as many types of herds as there are management plans. In my situation, purebred cattle, I keep cows until they fail all the normal reasons. I don't buy replacements, I raise them. Every couple of years I have the opportunity to buy a cow that fits into the top end of my herd for a new cow family. Heifers are too much of an unknown. Plus I cannot afford to constantly be bringing in new bugs. My cattle get enough exposure to unknowns by showing them. I keep a tight herd focusing on cow families. Just a different perspective on the subject. In our "line of work" there are sooo many options based on time, resources, LOCATION, and goals. [/QUOTE]
