I have been reading Grass Farmer's End of an Era post. A question has come to mind as I read the post. What is your defintion of production? It seems to me we are seeing several different opinions. I am of a belief that a cow must produce enough to pull her weight measured by a herd average and cost of production. I know some people believe that any calf is better than no calf at all, basing culling practices on reproduction. I can't see how this can work, why would you keep a sub-par cow when you can replace her with one that tows the line. Manage for the top end of your cows not the bottom.
