[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1709228, member: 41443"] Retired dairy farmer that works on and off for the person he sold to. Not a big herd, milk about 600 head and they have him come in and help out with stuff. Anyhow, the person that bought him out also sells semen in the area to other dairys. He told me that they are selling more Angus semen to the dairys than Holstein. He stated they get way more money for them than what they can buy replacement heifer calves for, tend to have less issues with them and are way easier to raise for 120 days and then just sell them. I'm out of the loop from dairy for 30+ years and was wondering if this has been going on for a while or is the "flavor of the month" type thing with cattle being higher for the moment? [/QUOTE]
