[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1683695, member: 498"] I eat nothing but heifers. I do that for a couple reasons. If I am keeping one of my own the steers will sell for more so I sell the steers. if I am buying one to feed out, heifers sell for less so I buy a heifer. Generally I buy a 800 pound +/- heifer that is crippled. Not terrible crippled but enough to show it. She is going into a relatively small pen. She just has to walk to the water trough and the feed bunk. The feedlots don't want her because she is crippled. The kill cow plants don't want her because she is too small. I buy her cheap. A 100 days or so on feed she will make a great piece of meat. [/QUOTE]
