Ep 262: Should She Stay? Rethinking Cull Cow Decisions w/ Dr. Ron Gill

August 8, 2026·54 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Should today's record cattle market change the way you make culling decisions? This week, Texas A&M's  Dr. Ron Gill discusses which culling principles should never change, where the current market may justify a different approach, and the traits that lead to a more profitable, longer-lasting cow herd. Plus, in a lightning round of real-world scenarios, Dr. Gill weighs in on which cows stay, which ones go, and why. Also, Don Day explains why this El Niño may have more in common with weather patterns from the 1950s than more recent El Niño events—and what that could mean for our long-range outlook. #WorkingRanchRadio #CowCalf #BeefCattle #Ranching #CullCows #CowHerd #HerdManagement #CommercialCattle #CowLongevity #CattleManagement #ReplacementHeifers #BeefIndustry #RanchLife #Profitability #TexasAgriLife
