First thing I would do before making any other decision is get a month old fresh off the cow calf and put on her. That will cost around 500 dollars. By doing that, you just took a 1,000 dollar slaughter cow (guessing) and turned her into a 2000-2500 dollar pair for 500 dollars. After that your choices are sell the pair for 2,000-2500, or raise the calf and sell it for 1400, and keep the cow or sell the cow as a springer for 1800 (turning 1500 dollars into 3200). If you do not put a calf on her, your only choices are to sell her for 1,000 and put another 1,000 with it to get another cow, or keep her and spend 500 each year to keep her for 2 years until you sell a calf. All the decisions can be tough, the only easy one is put a calf on her.
