If a 500lb calf will bring 1.10 that would total 550. How much did it cost you to bring that calf that extra 150 lbs? Just have to start going to the market and see what calves like yours would bring. Sometimes around here it just doesnt pencil out to keep as long as it would other places.
Exactly why I was leaning torward selling them early spring. If there is a bull with them, the cows may be light bred which will bring even more. Even as pairs (that will be split) they'll do good from 350 pounds on up, without having to keep them too long.
