Searching For Culls

J asked if I could help him sort out some culls so he could sell them.  He already had in his mind which ones he was wanting out in this group of 100.

As we walked around and he would find one he was looking for, he would talk himself out of it.  One that didn't keep her condition last year, looks great this year.  One that was limping all fall, was walking fine now.  

We ended up not culling any this time.  But he did say if there was a calving issue resulting in a lost calf, he wouldn't put too much effort into grafting one.  So if you want to stay in the herd, have a live calf.
