[QUOTE="Bez, post: 90631, member: 412"] RAB No matter what type of herd you are running - unless there is a problem with presentation or an early breeding, there should never be a pull to be done. You pull 5- 10% of a 200 head commercial herd you got real problems. You do this to a hobby herd of 10 animals - you still got probs - just not as bad. Had one get bred early once about two years ago - we aborted her. Some folks just let them go on and calve out. Wrecks the animal. The whole idea is to do as little work as possible. I am not truly there myself - pulled one of my "guest" animals a month ago - but - touch wood - we are usually clean on the home herd on an annual basis. Breeding / culling / genetics. Gotta' pull the calf? There better be a darned good reason, or she is gone. Next time you might not be there, and then you got a dead calf - a dead cow - or maybe both dead. Not worth it. Jerry - toss the bull - or breed older - maybe both. Bez [/QUOTE]
