I just basically "rebooted" my herd recently by selling everything and buying all new heifers from a reputable breeder. Out of 10 heifers that calved this spring so far there are 3 maybe 4 that I want to keep that thrive here. About the same amount that 'might' work and the rest need culled in my opinion but I tend to cull with a broad sword so to speak.
I am thinking about keeping the standouts and bringing in one more group that I will do my best to pick out from somewhere else and build off of whoever makes it out of all of those. After going and paying a good bit of money on cattle that was supposed to be adapted to similar conditions that I have here and having to cull several I will take my chances raising my own that were born here I think.
