[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1766129, member: 40587"] I agree. For what anyone would have i9n a heifer they try to raise, breed and get the first calf out of, I could take that money and buy you a 2nd calf or older cow that is twice what your best heifer could be. Every time. Since I first started helping my grandpa with his cows 55 years ago. I have always sold calved right off their mommas, and If i needed to replace a cow, I took [I]some[/I] of the money from selling calves and bought a cow. Same thing as raising one to eat...most expensive beef you can buy. I remember asking my grandpa when I was little why didn't we butcher some and keep them . He said " I would much rather sell them, and take [I]part[/I] of the money and go buy the steaks I want at the store. " [/QUOTE]
