[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 678620, member: 968"] 3way - not trying to rub you wrong - just pointing out different viewpoint. Not all cows are on this earth for commercial calves. No matter what size the cow is - or the cost to feed her, she's a keeper if she is making a really good profit. If all my calves were being sold by the pound, I would be a lot more critical at the yearly cow costs. Last cow cost calculated here was $471/yr. My steers will average about $750. If this cow carried & raised an ET calf for Hillsdown, she may have paid for 4 years worth of eating! So, being fertile was a big PLUS. Hillsdown - no brainer - if she is a problem at calving time - ship her & be HAPPY. We are all too busy at calving to have a cow that we have to mess with to get her to take a calf. [/QUOTE]
