Oversized Horse Hoarder :
I’ve got a very simple rule with my chickens - be nice or else. Lots of people would cull my absolute favourite cockerel because he’s got a bad leg, but he’s an attentive watcher and a gentleman to the hens whilst being human neutral. Meanwhile I know people who’d keep the cockerels I’ve culled because they’re better looking to breed type, colouration and just in general, but they’re skittish, not good at managing their hens and in once case, an asshole. That’s a removal from my stock in a way that physical faults aren’t.

「Kaydence || Klover』 :
I know for a fact that I cull animals in my barn that are of the quality to be beneficial to someone else's herd. Animals that when I was just starting, I would give an arm and a leg to get my hands on. But I genuinely can't deal with the headache of selling rabbits, especially parts and brood animals. This is one of my most recent culls, who will go in the freezer as soon as I get a litter out of him with a parts doe. His hindquarter is ATROCIOUS.

The animals u start with flat out won't be perfect, but they should at minimum be virtuous. That means they have something solid going for them, preferably more somethings than not. Breeding is hard and expensive, and there absolutely is a point where what u have is just not worth the effort. If the only thing the animal has going for it is that u have it, you're much better off investing into something at least a lil better. Breeding to improve is the point when starting from the ground up, however, as a breeder, u also have to have the ability to be honest with yourself. And starting underground is no place to start. Your animals, at bare minimum, should have virtures.

I’ve seen people cull anything that has only really has singles (not as profitable as twins), I’ve seen people cull anything that triplets (too much extra work/bottle babies), small cosmetic faults like a black spot or mottled ears (especially people specialising in pedigree or show quality stock), etc., which are all still amazing animals for the majority of people, they just aren’t what that specific person wants for their operation although those are typically sale culled not always meat culls. We’ve culled for temperament, genetic deformities, etc., but we’ve also kept on less perfect sheep that have been more pleasant to work with, aren’t perfect but their flaws are still an okay fit with the sire we use that year, or make the rest of the flock easier to wrangle because they’re so much tamer. I have a ewe that broke her leg as a lamb which a lot of farms would have (understandably) culled, she became insanely human oriented during her recovery, she is absolutely useless…except that she’s a joy to work with and makes the rest of the sheep much easier to move and handle because she follows on and draws the others with her. She was really an asset to the farm when it came to getting the ewe lambs trained to move after weaning this year. We also have sale culls which are too good for the freezer but just don’t do well here for whatever reason. I could have an incredible sheep that just doesn’t do well in my area; maybe the ground is too wet, or they’re prone to snow blindness, or the grazing just isn’t right for them, or a million other things, but they could do incredibly well for someone up north as long as there’s transparency. My hill Radnors were someone else’s culls, my ewe twins every year she just wasn’t sticky enough, has white hooves, and a damaged ear. Her son won me rosettes. My other one was bought same day but she was a lamb at the time. In that same group there was a royal welsh winner my former boss bought, literal award winning sheep, I can’t remember why she wasn’t in the higher grade group but their old owner always mentions regretting selling her. Someone’s cull can still be a damn good animal and some people can afford to be super picky.

I experienced that often, especially as a 4Her in a world where parents spent $$$$$ on animals for their kids and we just didn’t have it. the first “expensive” animal i got was a bantam light brahma hen i named Sasha ($20). i remember the barn supervisor being furious because i had bought her from a man who was like “THE” national chicken breeder but he would swap out the chickens in the cages after they won with a poorer quality chicken to sell. honestly though i loved that hen. i now have pretty nice quality chickens but i try to be affordable to 4Hers in my area. if i know a 4Her wants a breed i own i can at least set them up with chicks or a young pair to start with. but totally agree, to this day i have grand championship people tell me my birds are crap and others say they’d do anything to have the quality i have.

I think too many people equate the word “cull” with 💀. That can be true for some operations. But, in a cow/calf operation, it means someone’s going to the sale barn.

Coworkers mom was almost ENDED by a rooster. They kept him because he can take a coyote like no other.

Oh Deer :
When you first got into this did you ever feel guilt about taking the animals lives? I’m not trying to come off as judgmental I’m just curious about how you felt.

What does cull mean? From context clues I think it means to get rid of an animal, but I don’t know

Harry Francy :
I have a coworker that tells me to get rid of all my boys (a few different types of animals). I laughed at him years ago... I still do. He has much larger quantity of animals, I have better quality. The difference was that I can see how to breed to get better animals, he just trys to breed to better from someone else. The reason it has turned out this way is because he doesn't raise and breed his own boys, so he doesn't see the defects until they show up when crossed with his... which is months too late.
