[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 743190, member: 9115"] I understand the cost of raising heifers, the need for additional pasture and keeping bulls. What I want to know is, if it is such a proven money loser for everyone to raise commercial replacements and no way do a better job of it, who is raising them? Where do the proven commercial cows, that had to begin calving as someone's replacement heifers, you can buy come from? Someone, somewhere, is making a go of it, or there would be no good commercial cows to buy. Not all heifers are slaughtered, accidently bred, or can only be purchased from retired or bandrupt ranchers. Yes, it is expensive, but if it worked for no one, there would soon be no commercial herds anywhere. It's worked for someone every since they've sold cattle. gs [/QUOTE]
