[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 245275, member: 2797"] MnMt, Go back and re-read your post and I believe you have answered your question. It's a tough position to be in but let me recap: 1) Breeding is almost over. 2) almost out of pasture 3) got hay to feed the herd for 1 month 4) hay is expensive 5) no Winter grazing up here 6) 07 pasture starts last week of May 7) I won't need the bulls until June I know you don't normally sell the bulls for the winter but why would you keep the bulls for 9 - 10 months when they will be doing nothing but eating grass and hay that you don't have. In my opion, finish up breeding season and sell the bulls. The money you will save by not feeding them for 9-10 months will probably make up for the losses you will have of selling them now and buying new bulls when you need them. It's a tough decision to make but the logical answer is already apparent in the way you presented the facts and asked the question. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
