New Mexico
short wean calves.
cows will need some corn ( 5 to 7 bu per cow ) or dg's to put on a touch of flesh where a packer likes em.
harvest cow market generally peaks July to 1st part of August ( expect a $20 cwt up from today's $80 cwt cull cows )

young side brokens are better than old or wore outs.

you want that last 1 foot of topline just before their tail to be strait as possible with no divetts ( vertebrae divetts ).
the straiter and smoother that topline is, the more physiologic youth she has.

short solids may be a better deal for ya if you can find em.
