[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1238256, member: 2905"] I go to 2 sales a week and there are several good young to solid mouth cows that sell most every day. Not all are worthless culls. Think around here the average cow herd is about 30 cows and a lot of older folks own them. Seems like at least 1 or more small herd sellouts every week. IMO-experienced cows are the best way for an inexperienced person to get in the cow business for several reasons. Thing is you don't get to be an old bred cow if you didn't properly do your job as a younger cow. They know how to do their job better than most of us, so just give them a good home, get out of their way and let them do their job. Just that simple. Also an older cow takes a smaller investment and when bred to a quality bull, can raise good replacements to grow a herd with. A lot cheaper and less painful to get those rookie learning "experiences" on an old $1600-1800 cow that a fancy $3000 cow. Just another 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
