[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 689974, member: 8840"] "A cow that has already earned her keep has a higher probability to be profitable than one that has not earned her keep." Maybe. If a cow has been profitable in the past but is sick, she need to be culled regardless. The past is the past and is only useful as a future predictor of results. If you had two cows and had to cull one say because you did not have enough hay for the winter for both. The decision would come down to which one has the better expected future revenue stream vs. expected future cost to keep. An older cow would normally lose in that comparison. [/QUOTE]
