[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1645870, member: 1715"] Ran some rainy day numbers recently on using a maternal bull. Steers and cull heifers will be smaller and worth less per pound than a terminal cross, which increases your cost of the retained heifers. Will have some actual numbers on price discount and retained % later this year - - but I am estimating my retained heifer calf opportunity cost will be U$S 45 to $ 75 over their sales barn value. Does this make sense ? [/QUOTE]
