[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 807327, member: 7398"] With all the "risks" and higher price for bred heifers, you could also ask why anyone would keep their own heifers too it seems. It's because you anticipate/hope they will be as good or better than their parents and you know how they're managed. So, if you know where the heifer came from, while there's no guarantee that they will be genetically equal or superior to their parents, you can hope they may be. Otherwise, as I said, why not take the extra money of bred heifers and sell everything you have? [/QUOTE]
