[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1841796, member: 22295"] I will never say dumb or tell another producer what is best. Each situation is different. Now is a time that some I respect are considering other options than what they normally do. We retain our heifers rather than buy cows. We feel it works best for us. I know a producer who wanted too sell around 150 older cows. Think he ended up buying around 50 5-7 y:o cows and sold the oldest. Plans too sell the rest after weaning. Normally he would buy 3-4 y/o’s. Another factor is does a producer have too borrow money and pay interest. Myself I wouldn’t buy the $4,000.00 dollar heifer pairs selling. I would buy older bred cows that the calf should pay for and you have the cow you can sell if needed. But we retain ours so only buy a cow once in awhile to bring in new genetics. [/QUOTE]
