[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1016298, member: 2308"] We watch their production, carefully. Since I have pretty in depth records and we weigh all the calves at birth and at weaning that makes the decisions easier. If a calf is a lot lighter than the rest of the herd and of her past calves we will cull her out. If the WW is way down we will cull her out. Of course, this is assuming that she breeds back, has a good udder and has passed all the other normal reasons for culling. Right now we have 2 14 year old girls that are on their last calf, and had one we had to do an emergency C-section on when she went down on us. They are in a 'dry' (no bull) pasture for the summer and we will probably wean them in late July and sell them. We also have another 10 head that are over 10 years old. They will all go out to be bred, we will see how many of them breed back and who raises a good calf again. [/QUOTE]
