[QUOTE="Jake, post: 87220, member: 4"] [b][u][i]GREAT POST!!!![/i][/u][/b] I personally see no reason to cull a cow that's calf dies of pnemonia or is a young cow that's calf has died or she came up open because of bull problems... Why isn't keeping a young cow a second chance after circumstances like that the same as giving a first calf heifer her chance? At least you fairly well know the one that you keep knows how to raise a calf... I also don't personally see that you can afford to bring in unpredictable genetics into your herd, (I'll post a picture of what it does next time I'm down home) at the cost of $1200-$1800 a pair!! That's gunna take you at least 3 years at an average of $500 a calf and a depreciation down to $300 value on the cow... that's at least 2 extra years your own replacements or exceptions to the rules could have been making you money while the other cow is still paying herself off.... but then again...
