[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 140755, member: 807"] CypressFrams your idea about the climates being simikar is right on the money, I would guess. To cut em I got to work em. Usually I take about 4 cents a head less on em. Which comes out to about $16 a head. Of course when we start to hit the bottom of the cattle cycle, I usually have to cut em. As for the 400 pounds its usually several reasons reasons. 1. After 400 pounds a calf will start to pull on its mother body score. 2. Usually in my area their are buyers looking for calves to go on pasture about the time I sell. 3. My grass quality is starting to fall at that time, so cows can get through late summer without losing any weight, and be ready to take advantage of the fall growth season on the grass. Also they go into winter with a good body score. 4. I can go fishing.....lol... without worring about when to pull the trigger on selling em [/QUOTE]
