[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1102929, member: 1715"] The biggest bred cow sales here are during early December. I think many smaller operators sell their calves and culls in the fall, and then buy back breds before year end. The most popular calving window here is mid April to mid May. So call them 5 months bred when they sell in December. A 1,000# bred after decent gain would back into buying at least a 7 wt. heifer. What do they cost today in your area? Most years we don't have good grass till mid May. So call it 2 months of hay and 7 months of grass - - depending on the year and your ability to stockpile in the fall. Heifer hay here is $100 a ton and pasture can be had. [/QUOTE]
