[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 63459, member: 1094"] Dont give up Josh. Sometimes there is years like that. Makes you look more forward to the good ones. Lucky that the market is so good that your cash flow can still be pretty good with fewer calves to sell. Like others said pay attention to nutriton and mineral for next year. One more thing. Dont help for this year since the horse is out of the barn but you have a chance to change it fo next year if you want. Before you turn your bulls back out be sure that you really need calves born this time of year. I like my cows to be chasing green in warmer temps when calves start coming. Less supplement and a lot cleaner calving places seems like. My weaning weights arent as good as some of the cafe heroes that do a lot of bragging but having more smaller calves aint all bad. You can always carry thiose later born calves over to put more weight on them. Just something else to think about. Keep hanging in there Josh. When Spring gets here and you see the live calves wringin tails and romping you'll be thankful for your life [/QUOTE]
