[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1380366, member: 17596"] I agree that there are many, many components to culling criteria, not least of which is the breed in general and animal in particular being the right fit to the ranches' environment. Where I disagree with you, unless I'm not understanding you, is that culling poor breeders is always the right culling decision. As I mentioned, no one management decision can have a more detrimental affect on a herd more quickly than allowing poor breeders to stay in the herd, propagating their undesirable reproductive traits. Open cows drain cash flow and are the most expensive animal a rancher can own. It is the managers responsibility to remove them from the equation at the earliest opportunity. [/QUOTE]
