[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1195835, member: 9096"] Here's a bit of statistics from my herd... I have culled 70 cows so far, average cull age was 6 1/2 years old (so 4 1/2 calves each) Since 2009 I have culled 14, with an average age of 8 years old. So I am improving that aspect slowly (Getting better at choosing? Having better stock to choose from?) I will still have some underperformers after that, but I think I'll get to the end of the troublesome ones. As long as I have decent heifers to choose from, I have a hard time justifying $3000 bred heifers unless they are exceptional... I did see a PB Gelbvieh bred heifer this fall that I would have paid that for, but I think she went for more than that! [/QUOTE]
