[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1621766, member: 25884"] What SBMF said is all true. Unless you are looking at wanting to raise up purebreds, which you shouldn't be able to buy for 400 each, there is no sense in buying a heifer that you have to feed up, then get b red then deal with first calf heifer problems. If the 2nd and 3rd trimester animals are 2nd calf at least, they should know what they are doing, the first calf dealings are done, they hopefully will be able to have a decent sized calf, and you can get a paycheck back in 5-8 months rather than in 18 months. No brainer really. If you have no experience calving out cows then you don't want to start with bred heifers. [/QUOTE]
