[QUOTE="BRYANT, post: 1529673, member: 10562"] No, I don't think I missed anything, I saw a large operation sell 2 to 3 pot loads a week for 3 weeks of GOOD LOOKING cross bred cows mostly 8 yrs. old and short mouth cows around 6 months bred + or - for 600.00 each, kept them and wean a 750.00 calf ????? let see 360 x 600 = 216000.00 360 x 750 = 270000.00 and that was for cows not even wore out if they were killer culls you would have got even less. You walk a cow in the sale ring with one bad tit or one 1/4 not milking good but she can still give enough milk to raise a good calf and see what the kill buyers does to you. They have a thing going on with them some times and its buyer #1 you get this one buyer #2 you get the next one and you don't bid against me and I wont bid against you. Who takes the licking the seller does then its a 400.00 dollar cow that could have raised a 750.00 calf. I am not trying to tell people how to do it, do it any way that works for you but me if she can raise a good calf breed back like she should and not get just skin and bones doing it she aint no cull, she's still a money maker 4 yrs. old or 24 yrs. old does not really matter as long as she can wean a calf that brings more than she will she is making money.
