[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 798620, member: 14334"] We started with the old cows that nobody wanted. Wormed, vaccinated and sent them out to eat and eat and eat and breed. We have kept a few heifers each year. Last year we had a lot of heifers and I would prefer to keep all of them as our cows are aging each year. We will then start to sell off our cows and keep the heifers. Another couple of months and our heifers will be old enough to go to the bull. They go to the bull older here than you seem to over there, probably because of the brahman influence. We like them to have their first calf at 2 and 1/2. Last year we had mostly heifers. This year we had mostly bulls, so they will be sold off as steers. Finally we have worked up enough to have a little income. [/QUOTE]
