Still never came bulling. Should I serve he amd sell her incalf or start milking her oad with the other empty cow I have and factory them in November? Nothing bred here since 16th july
blackdog1 wrote: » I know farmers who breed late calvers who their going to cull to beef. Dry them off same time as rest but they get 4-5 months dry so their nice and fat when they calve. They sell the calve and the cow 2 days later. Sometimes they pull in 1500-1600 between both of them on the really big cows.
