 PROTOCOL FOR THE SCIENTIFIC EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS TO CULL MARINE MAMMALS: Background and Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Consequently, demands are made for culls to reduce the number of marine mammals, in the belief that fewer marine mammals will consume less fish, which will leave more fish available for fisheries to catch, with resulting benefits for the fishing industry and the livelihood of fishers.
Culls can also be implemented through existing commercial hunts, for example where the authorities subsidize a hunt to encourage it to take more animals than it otherwise would, or where a marine mammal harvest is managed with the aim of reducing, rather than merely maintaining, the marine mammal population.
The scientific evaluation of a proposal to cull marine mammals for the purpose of benefiting one or more commercial fisheries is not a trivial exercise, as it must consider the complexity of ecological interactions among the marine mammal population(s), the relevant fish stocks and the fishery/fisheries which catch them.

 DairyBiz -- Cow Talk -- The Hidden Costs of Cull Rate
The cull rate was defined as the number of cows that died or were sold divided by the average herd size.
While part of this difference was explained by differences in milk sold per cow (15,554 pounds for the high cull rate group versus 17,172 pounds per cow for the low cull rate group), the contraction in the herd turnover period from 4.2 to only 2.0 years was the main driver.
Cull rate was defined as the total number of cows that died or were sold during the year divided by the average number of cows.

 John Ernest Lelliott Cull
Cull began his investigations while working for the Dunedin engineering firm, Cutten Brothers, on the design and construction of gold dredges.
In 1902 Cull returned to Canterbury University College as a demonstrator in the mechanical engineering department and, until 1908, tackled the fundamental issues of extracting iron from fl sands, attempting ’to produce, on a small scale, a furnace which on a large scale might be expected to smelt the sands commercially."
When, owing to its fineness, the sponge iron was found to re-oxidise during conveyance to a melting hearth, Cull experimented with methods of delivering it to an electric-arc furnace in the absence of air.

 World Wide Words: Cull
cull was a good strong, agricultural-sounding word that had the happy additional advantage of avoiding using emotive words like kill or slaughter.
The idea here is that a proportion of animals are killed, often the old and infirm ones, so leaving the remaining population on average fitter and of higher quality, better able to survive on the food available in the wild.
The word has, though, taken on a strongly pejorative sense with phrases like seal cull and badger cull, in which many people consider the intentions of the slaughterers to be suspect and any killing to be wrong.

 Feeding Cull Onions to Lambs and Ewes   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cull onions, as by-products of the onion industry, are commonly fed to sheep and cattle in major onion producing areas.
The objectives of the studies in this project were: 1) to determine the effects of feeding cull onions in finishing lamb diets on growth rate, carcass traits, cost analysis, and meat sensory attributes and 2) to determine the adaptation of pregnant ewes to an exclusive onion diet.
In this study, the ewes rapidly adapted to eating the cull onions and although they all developed a Heinz body hemolytic anemia, they did not appear to be adversely affected when compared to the controls.

 Cull
Used as a verb, "to cull" is "to remove rejected members or parts from", for example, a herd.
When "cull" was first used in the English language around 1330, it meant to "put through a strainer." It is this connotation which evolved into its more nefarious meaning.
An example of this is the "cull tree", which is live saw-timber and pole-timber size trees which do not contain a merchantable sawlog due to poor form, quality, or undesirable species.

But a cull would almost certainly bring a howl of protest from wild life and environmental groups and is unlikely to win much public support, however, pressure is growing and it is believed that fishermen in North Shields and Scotland are also supporting calls for a cull.
Salmon and sea trout fishermen are the worst affected by the huge growth in the seal population, but shell fishermen around Bridlington and Scarborough say their lobster pots have been broken into by the creatures.
The last major cull took place in the 1970s when rifle marksmen were appointed to kill the seals, but public opinion has changed dramatically since then and a cull in Canada two years ago brought massive protests.
