[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1016582, member: 1682"] I'll start with the most common factor and end with the least common. - Being open (unless they are young and exceptional, in which case they get a 2nd chance, but never a 3rd) - Big teats/udders - if they need help getting a calf to suck or get mastitis, gone. - Poor calf performance - Bad feet - The odd pulled hip, lump or eye that could have the start of cancer. - Anything that has a history of prolapses of any sort. Age is never a consideration. If they have no major problems, keep their flesh and raise a good calf - I'll keep them till they're just about dead. I put a lot of credit in buying bulls that have some longevity in their pedigrees. Young cow herds don't impress me - only make me skeptical. [/QUOTE]
