I know just what you mean. I'm in the same boat. Sold the dairy cattle four years ago and the party lasted a week.I increased the size of the beef herd to around 80 and went to finishing the calves out.

As frustrating as they are though sometimes,and grain prices what they are,I have to wonder why I'm going out in the cold everyday to take care of 'em.Not to mention the hassle in calving season. Not an answer for you,but I just figure when the time comes to get rid of 'em,it'll be like the dairy cows,I'll just know it's time.
