[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 782240, member: 2905"] Lots of smooth mouth cows doing OK out there. As long as she has adequate hay or grass that's not grazed to short she should be able to make a decent living and raise you a calf. If she were mine, I would keep her until April or May and then ship her. Most years there is good grazing at that time of year and someone will usually take a chance on an older cow with a nice calf, especially if the cow has a good bcs. Also, the packer cow & calf markets are usually pretty good that time of year so they should bring good money either as a pair or if split. A word of caution-At the first hint of hot, dry weather get her gone. When there is plenty of grass, old cows have a few friends but when pastures start drying up so do their friends. According to my calculator, you paid about $.40# for her. Sounds like a good buy for a large, 7 month bred cow. She should make you some money if marketed at the right time. Just another 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
