[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1512252, member: 25884"] Pull as baby calves and sell them; seems like the baby calf market is good most places. Put them on a nurse cow if you have some; then ship the cows as cull cows. If you do some "trading" many will sell the cows as bred at a cow sale. Most stockyards will have occasional bred cow sales throughout the year. It is always buyer beware, but if I have a cow that doesn't do real good, she will get put with her calf at a pasture where she will not be bred back and the pair will go in the fall ( or spring); split with the calf as a feeder and the cow as a cull. Or the calf will come off and go on a nurse cow and the cow will get sht canned as a cull. Don't keep them, invest in a couple of good cows to replace them or better yet, keep a few heifers out of your best producing cows so you are perpetuating the good genetics and upgrading your herd through selective breeding/replacement.
