Cull cows in calf

[Deleted User] · 2023-08-31 16:19:23

I have a few cows that were marked for culling because of SCC and three spinners. Between one thing and another I didn't get a chance to go with them, now some are in calf. Is there much custom for in calf cull type cows, or would I be better inject them and go to factory. They are 5 to 7 yr olds and none are lame.

Sell them as culls running with bull, you'll have plenty of buyer's.
Used to buy culls years ago, mostly delighted for them to be incalf.
