Wow, to have a cull rate of 48% and not buy any cows (assumption), that means you must get close to 50% hfr calves. Do you use any sexed semen? (If I remember right, you do not?) We cannot cull anymore than 30% of our herd unless we buy animals. Must be nice to be able to cull the animals that you don't want around!
