[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1401234, member: 9096"] I run a closed herd except for bulls, so I don't buy any cows.. I hit it right while prices were going up, I kept a lot of cows that I would have otherwise culled to get an extra calf out of them and it panned out, and I sold them just at the peak... Now it's back to the usual, what doesn't have a calf goes, what doesn't make a nice calf goes, what wants to kill me goes... And some cows that can only make good steers and never make a nice heifer, well, their days are numbered, as as the ones that just didn't grow into the cow they looked like they would.. Rome wasn't built in a day, I can't cull everything at once, but the market really doesn't dictate what happens in the herd.. my goals are still on herd improvement. [/QUOTE]
