We call them cull cattle, in the cattle industry. The older cattle are usually from 12% to 15% of the gross income on any cattle ranch.
For example, before the BSE situation, I sold a bull, a mature cull bull, for $1,830 on May 2. In July I sold another bull, and he brought $261. When we went to the Superstore to buy groceries, it wasn't enough to pay the bill for one month.
These are the kinds of things we've been up against. This is the reason the industry is still suffering. That 12% to 15% income has turned into 2% income.
