[QUOTE="BC, post: 1831473, member: 67"] No one has mentioned being able to depreciate a purchased animal as compared to treating a home raised cow the same as a calf when it is time to cull. I do both (buy and keep heifers) . In my small herd, it actually makes more sense to buy. 1) You don't have to change bulls as often; 2) having a separate pasture to keep heifers from getting bred too soon or back to their sire; 3) the labor and feed expense to grow the heifers out properly.
