[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1574770, member: 24694"] Branded most operations can't just buy more land to expand, money and availability is the culprit. You manage your operation like you have no management at all. There's two distinct seasons for selling registered cattle, because most folks manage for either a fall or spring breeding season. And when it comes to culling, most folks whether their commercial or registered start deciding once the calf hits the ground. I don't give a darn about EPD'S - DNA, momma - daddy if the calf doesn't have the look I want she's on the cull list. My take on keeping older cows so you know what you have is BS. If she's any good I have her calves in my herd already. Any cow that dies cost your operation money, and if it's an old cow you failed as a manager. My herd is supposed to be getting better with every calf crop, if I do my job. I've failed doing my job a couple of years in the last 10, but still have more heifers that I'd like to keep than places to put them. I'm very amazed that more folks don't have this problem. You have some really nice cattle and property so your doing something right, or you have a really thick wallet to play the game. [/QUOTE]
