[QUOTE="francismilker, post: 1452528, member: 7028"] My advice, FWIW, Breed your cows using AI and keep a very well bred cleanup bull on the primisis. Do your diligence and heavily cull anything that's not what it should be. Be equally critical when culling both AI and pasture bred calves. If you need to keep subpar cows to have enough replacements for the year put her offspring on a "Do not keep" list from here on out. It can take years to do so, but culling your herd based upon production, health, and fertility will pay off in the end. If you want diversity in your income try something bold. I know one milker who split his wet cow pasture into two tracts. He rotates the two tracts out every other year and uses the used one for raising marketable vegetables and does quite well. It's amazing how well that green stuff can grow veggies! [/QUOTE]
