[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1823047, member: 40587"] There are people on here that think that because a cow is at a sale that it is junk....a cull. They think they raise replacements that are better than anyone else's that they could buy. I guess, according to them, IF something happened and they had to take their -best-in-the-world heifers to a sale, that those heifers would somehow immediately become diseased-ridden junk. I know of several operations that all they do is raise replacement heifers. If the ones they raise and sell weren't of superior quality, then they would not be in business for long. I have always said, and will still say, that if you gave me the money that it costs you to raise a heifer from birth to when her first calf is weaned ( about 2 and a half years) and add to that amount, the price the heifer would have brought if you had sold it at weaning, then I can buy a heavy bred cow that is [I]better[/I] than any heifer you have raised, for less money, that will give you a calf to sell in a few months, instead of 2 and 1/2 years.
