It all goes to south when they skip a cog...  and they will, it's just a matter of time til they let you down. Then you just lost everything you thought you'd gained. Personally, I like to keep the cow herd saleable at all times, just in case  :wink:  Cows are worth a lot more money as d1's than as shells too. In a normal cow market that means several hundred dollars.

Plus, who doesn't love calving out heifers   :shock:
