[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1637057, member: 38590"] Like most things with cattle, it's a lot of messing around for little money. I'll preface this by saying that I live in dairy country, and not Georgia, but I think keeping the cows year round and trying to breed them back is a sure way to lose money. Cows that are capable of feeding four calves at a time walk through the cull market for slaughter price every day. Use them up and trade them out when they're done. Consider what it costs to purchase and keep a bull, what it costs to feed a dry dairy cow, and the value of the half dairy calf. Not worth it. [/QUOTE]
