[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1170807, member: 12607"] Know what you mean, Kris... I'm not dependent upon the cows to pay my bills...and I really like the two heifers that lost their calves (one's a ConnectionX6I6 granddaughter of one of the most productive cows we ever had, other is a nice SHxAN cross; but both are just commercial heifers) - and, truthfully, if I'd been more on top of things, they might not have lost them... But, prices are HIGH right now...I've fed these girls through 2 winters, they'll have to go through 2 more winters before they have anything big enough to sell...the wise economic choice would be to ship 'em. Still haven't made that decision final...but we're at the point that with all the heifers we have to choose from, we either have to sell heifers at weaning/yearling or cull some cows that are already producing. In the past, we'd have kept them, but we're now at or above carrying capacity, so...I'll probably bite the bullet and send 'em on. [/QUOTE]
