Didnt breed cause money was tight? If money is tight, sell some cows! Cows make you money by producing a calf every year. You certainly didnt make any money on those girls if you didnt breed them, and you just might have screwed a few up by holding them off a year, especially if you have some two year old heifers that have never bred yet. Not to be to critical but not breeding cows, and keeping them for another year cause money was tight is one of the most rediculous things i have heard on here, and i have heard alot of them!

The last few years here what with the drought and all, it is common practice to hold most of the cows empty. People dont want to get rid of the genetic base they have developed for decades, but there is not the feed there to support cows and calves. So a lot of people 1) Sell off culls, steers, weaners then 2) Hold the majority of the cow herd empty and 3) Only breed their top 10% females

I suppose if that is a ridiculous idea than we are a country of idiots
