[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 1035781, member: 16167"] With the numbers you gave of 4 to 5 months now breeding the first of the year witch is another 6 months, has them calving at 18 to 20 months. Around here a first calf bred heifer that is not at least 16 to 18 months before breeding and coming from a very reputable farm, will not bring any more than the market price if she didn't have the calf in her. Now if they were bred right and really fancy witch they do look good but I can't say how there going to look in 10 months, they could bring 1200 to 1600 no problem, but still I don't see how keeping the extra time for no more than you might get if they did sell good as Breds is worth it if you really want to make as much as possible.
