[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1759734, member: 24416"] I foresee decent prices like we currently have. Anything past this current market has so many factors though. Imported beef, economy/wages, input cost, weather etc. right now though with ppl selling off herds I would say young cows would be the smart play, faster return already bred, plus less risk in first calf heifers. Other than not knowing bulls or genetics, seems like no brainer. Quality heifers seems the better play if their cheap or retaining your own later. Gets hard to retain if we see 2012-14 prices though. Happened to me, lately my starter cows are aging out and I didn’t keep heifers 2012-16. After that payments etc made it hard to keep them, just now getting ahead and input cost are making retaining hard [/QUOTE]
