[QUOTE="hillbilly, post: 44498, member: 373"] that sounds like a good plan.. some valuable info i picked up one time was from a sale barn owner when we were discussing the quality of cows that come thru the barns.. he said, you rarely see people in here buying who have, in his opinion, good cattle. they keep back the best of what they have and therefore will always have good cattle. sure, there will be some of them to cull from time to time, but overall, they will have a good herd. i thought that was very good advice.. and something that at the time i hadnt thought of. jt[/quote] I agree. It is cheaper to buy 5 yr old replacments every year than to raise your own. But you cant improve your cattle depending on someone elses genetics for 50% of your herd. After just a few generations there is a huge differance, If you are running good bulls and have at least a 3 breed rotation. People start giving enough for your culls that your replacements dont cost so much. Hillbilly [/QUOTE]
