[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1799937, member: 24565"] Cull the duds in the best way that makes a profit: sell at weaning if the price is up or retain and put on pounds. Expose all retained heifer. Sell breds that you do not prefer , if there is a drought or if there is a demand. Otherwise calve out and keep the ones that work. Heifers are the way to deal with drought. If it comes, sell the less preferred heifers or cows that need to go. If it doesn't come, there are plenty of calves. If prices zoom up, sort the heifers harder. Money is made on turnover and not on retention unless the retained animals have a solid package to offer genetically. And tax issues also can speed or delay sales. More than a one answer question.
