[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1724883, member: 14585"] With just 5 cows, use the most cost-efficient breeding option available. The heterosis of crossbreeding for feed efficiency would be most beneficial for replacement females and you'd get about 0 benefit from the calves sold. I would have zero interest in adding any Highland blood for replacement females and I'm in Minnesota, so in southern Oklahoma it makes even less sense to me. Stick with RA or a cheaper more conventional local option rather than Highland. just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
