[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 37984, member: 147"] We cull based on several things, and i am less tollerant than most Here are some criteria I use, Bulls: sub optimal performance, based on breed standard expected, always wan't better than the breed standard, anything over 90lb birth weight, they make great steers, any testicular malformations Everthing is culled with poor temperaments, 0 tolerance Cows: open, get culled, unless it is my fault then they go after three tries if pregnancy is not achieved by natural service after 60 days, also with anual physicals, if teeth are missing which will cause cow to have sub optimal performance she is sent packing, no hard feelings but one poor doer will look bad when you have a customer come out, and they ask, why are you keeping that one, our oldest cow is 14 years, some last longer, but when it is time, they go into the food chain, I can't see letting them go to waist rotting in the ground, not fair to them either.
