[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1190425, member: 14713"] I would cull based on physical and mental defects, then age and physical condition. In that order. On a "hard doing" cow, I'd keep her if she is indeed putting everything she's got into the calf and it shows. But at some point she is going to burn out early compared to "average" cows while doing that, and needs to go to town. She likely won't last as long in the herd as the "average" cow. I agree average cows are good. Just make sure you make progress and your "average" cows get just a wee bit better every year. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
