[QUOTE="dun, post: 136341, member: 34"] All of the above. Some sell there cows one day and buy a new herd the next, others just retire, others take avacation until the heifers start to freshen. When we tagged the cows for the program it really upset me to see young cows with really nice udders and feet heading to slaughter. The guy that was supervising said it bothered him the first year but now he just doesn't look at the cows as they come through. As far as I can tell all it does is put the smaller dairys out of business so that the mega dairys can expand even more. Around here the average dairy is around milking 60-75 head, a few up to 100 or so. There are a couple milking 200 head but only a couple. dun [/QUOTE]
