[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 318525, member: 3162"] Aplus I am rebuilding the herd. Hopefully I am a little smarter this run. Problem is I have to have cattle with ear for this climate. So building the herd has me keeping a heavy Brahman influence. Half the offspring is going to be bull calves and get banded. When I haul those calves to the sale barn I will take a loss on the ear. That's okay for now, but that also figures in to the cost. I will keep making a few nickels off of hay sales while I am rebuilding. Hopefully that will also help defer losses from retaining heifers. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
