Run the Bull or sell dry

Alibaba

As it might be my last year in sucklers as i have no help to be calving cows, I was just wondering if i should run the bull with the cows or fatten them up and sell them dry next spring.
I have mostly Angus, charolais, whiteheads , mostly 5 - 6 or 7 yrs old.

What breed is the bull? There are a few things you can do to make life easier.

• feed the cows in the evening so most of them calve in daylight
• reduce the grub for last 6 weeks
• Angus, but you need to take them to slaughter
• calve them at grass

But a lot depends on the farming system you are doing and what you want to do a few yrs down the road.

blue is right there are ways of reducing calving probs, but if you were getting out id cash them with calves at foot at the moment. what you thinking of running instead of the cows

If you've already taken the decision to get out of suckers sell now with calves at foot.
