[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1225988, member: 9096"] We delayed our calving from the norm (Feb around these parts) to mid March,.. that's eased the stress of it a lot. For me, if I didn't have cows, I might as well just sell the place and go work, I'd get no satisfaction from buying and selling stockers. I'd say you should try delaying calving until better (typical) weather before you get rid of the cows altogether... Also, with the high initial cash outlay for feeders you have to deal with now leaves you pretty open should the market fall,... At least when you raise cow/calf you have a little protection there since you don't have to put as much on the table every time. [/QUOTE]
