Removing select cattle from a

herd (culling) is done to improve herd

performance and profitability Production and market conditions influence

culling criteria Some cattle are obvious candidates for culling (e g , cows

with poor breeding performance or

cancer eye), but cattle can and should

be culled for reasons that may not be

readily observable Simply put, cows

are selected for culling based on

whether they are cost-effective to the

operation

Populations of "game" animals such as elk may be informally culled if they begin to excessively eat winter food set out for domestic cattle herds. In such instances the rancher will inform hunters that they may hunt on their property in order to thin the wild herd to controllable levels. These efforts are aimed to counter excessive depletion of the intended "domestic" winter feed supplies.[10] Other managed culling instances involve extended issuance of extra hunting licenses, or the inclusion of additional "special hunting seasons" during harsh winters or overpopulation periods, governed by state fish and game agencies
