[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1579095, member: 24816"] I can’t speak for Branded, but if I have a cow that’s got some age on her but still raising a good calf and calving back regularly, unless I thought she was getting to the point that she couldn’t I don’t see any need to cull her. I can make more money selling bred heifers than middle aged cows. My idea is to keep a cow until there is a reason to cull and I am fairly ruthless when it comes to culling. There are not many cows that are still going to be productive at 20, my opinion if they are that is a darn good cow. The way I see it it costs me every time that I have to cull a young cow and replace it with a heifer. I could have either sold the heifer for more or would have to buy one for more money Than I sold the cow. If anybody is real good at it I suppose buying bred cows or cows and calves would be an angle, but that has been a roll of the dice more so than heifers for me. [/QUOTE]
