[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1738510, member: 25884"] If I was planning on keeping them as replacements then 1500 would not be too much. Feeder heifers are anywhere from 1.50 for 5 wts to 1.35 for 7 wts here.... Also take into account that cull cow prices are high... read some of the threads. [USER=498]@Dave[/USER] used to buy one and done old bred cows last year for the 6-700 range... in his thread he just bought 4 for something like 1060.... which he said averaged out to .87/lb.... they are bred and are broken mouth "old cows". He said the killer buyers were buying even 4-5 month breds.... There is going to be a shortage of breds in this country... farmers selling out, the drought causing many to cut way back....all these breds that are not bad cows, going to slaughter. This is going to make bred heifers be at a premium in the next couple years. You might be better off keeping them and breeding them and selling them as bred heifers if you don't want to calve them out. There are some bred heifers here bringing over 2,000... that is average decent breds, no papers or anything. [/QUOTE]
