[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1611078, member: 498"] I ship open cows, period. And I do it as soon as possible. That said when the kill cow market is low enough I consider buying those short breds in February/March. One bid over kill price. Winter is almost over so not much wintering cost in them. Off to grass where they should gain and be looking good. Calf them out in the fall and sell as pairs when the calves are about 4 weeks old. But keeping an open cow to do that is a gamble I am not taking. She didn't breed before when she had the chance. [/QUOTE]
