[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1823066, member: 40587"] Yes, but even if you didn't spend a thing on raising it, had year-round grass etc. You are looking at raising it to, say, 16 mos old, it having a calf 9 mos later at 25 months old, then selling its 1st calf in 6 mos. 31 mos before you get any money out of her. Or sell her at 6 mos old, buy a 7 month bred cow, and in 8 mos you have a calf to sell. Breed her back when that calf is 3 mos old and in 15 more months, you have another calf to sell. Two calves in 20 months vs 31 mos for that retained heifer to wean her 1st calf. Myself, I hate calving our heifers or foaling fillies. Much rather fool with an older cow or broodmare. [/QUOTE]
