Not really. I had quite a few springers and open heifers. I started selling those off as soon as they started to freshen. They kept the cash flow pretty good for the next two years. I'd been keeping my bull calves for a year before I sold the cows too,so I had those to sell when they were finished out. I already had a cow/calf herd too.
