Thanks Dave, that's what I'll do.
Her steer calf this year was a frame score 6.1 and one of the lightest ww calves, nothing special and not bad just not proportional to what his dam is eating for maintenance.
Selling her and a new calf as a pair in the spring is probably the best way to get value out of her. The other option is as a slaughter cow. I should be able to do much better as a pair.
