[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 326436, member: 5507"] Thanks Sidney! That sounds like a great idea. Unless three qualify, we don't even have enough cows to call them a herd. For us little guys just starting out, (I do the math and gasp when I realize how long it will take to actually start to see a return from this herd we are trying to build!!), keeping costs down and cows/calves alive and healthy is the goal. I don't even see us being in a position to begin culling any difficult cows any time soon unless there is a real obvious problem! Besides, for you big guys, do you typically cull first year cows with issues or just wait and see what happens with their second calf? I keep thinking about my pioneer ancestors, (from western NE). They brought along only a few cows from back east when they headed west... [/QUOTE]
