[QUOTE="Cowdirt, post: 715498, member: 2609"] zendog, I agree with other posters on the need for handling facilities. It need not be real elaborate but I would advise to begin that as soon as practical for your situation. I use the chronological age of cows very little to make sell-decisions. If the animal still moves good, still raises a good calf and is generally healthy; she is more welcome on my place that a replacement of unknown value. One ten yr. old may be ready for the bone yard and another may have 4 or 5 more calves left. On the subject of preg checking: If the cows are where you can observe them they will let you know fairly quickly if they are bred. JMO [/QUOTE]
