[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1709266, member: 38590"] It's been going on for a few years now. Dairies know roughly how many replacement heifers they need to produce. They'll use sexed semen to get them out of their best animals, and breed everything else to beef. Some are even breeding all of their animals to beef and buying replacements. It's cheaper to buy springing Holstein heifers than to raise them. [/QUOTE]
