[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1181363, member: 498"] I know a guy in Montana who runs about 400 pairs. He keeps all his heifers. Breeds them and in the early fall he ultra sounds them. He retains the earliest calving ones who will have bull calves. The rest he sells, it has been working for him for years. I knew another guy in Washington who would calf out all his heifers (several 100). Once the calves hit about 300 pounds he would decide which heifers he wanted to keep. The rest would get the calves pulled and the heifers sent to a feedlot. It use to work for him. With the 30 month of age cut off I don't know if this would still work because those critters would be pushing that 30 months of age. There is certainly more than one way to market your cattle and the more you think outside the box the better you will probably do. [/QUOTE]
