[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1526266, member: 22295"] It is something we've been discussing and tossing around. Will sort this weekend and know for certain. Somewhere between 20-30 cows left that are at least 14 years old and some older. A few have to go. They are fat now but last winter was hard on them. Put some on wheat last winter with the intention of selling but the cows calved so will wean them. Judy said Sunday at the price they will bring a calf will bring as much or more. Everyone of these cows had a calf this year. So can't cull the ones that didn't calve. Have already decided the 3-4 Brangus cross cows that look 9 years old and stay in good condition all year will stay. After this weekend we will know better how many we will keep. In the end it is up to her. Normally you would sell them as we have been retaining heifers but with the current prices it makes you wonder. I took a pic of a cow that feel maybe 16 last weekend with a very nice early March heifer on her side and she is in good condition. Makes it a hard decision. [/QUOTE]
