[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1487123, member: 25884"] I am with Stocker Steve on the culling thoughts. We cull at weaning, then make another culling when it's time to bangs vaccinate; usually 2-4 months later. Then look them over real good when they go to summer pasture. Sometimes will cull some after their yearling summer at pasture. Then they get another culling when they go to the bull. Because we breed and calve a little older than many, @ 27 -30 months, we can get a better idea of their overall general look. Then actually we do another culling, that is if they come up open after being with the bull. So, we give any that are "maybe", a little longer to see how they will grow. One of my BEST cows was a bought black angus that was probably a lowline cross.... She never hit 800 lbs and had a crackerjack calf every year. Vet would make fun of shorty every time we preg checked, but I have 3 of her daughters and 1 granddaughter in the herd now. EASY keepers, bigger than shorty but not overly huge cows and they are fertile. Wean off calves in with the rest as far as size goes. [/QUOTE]
