[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 875310, member: 17248"] Also to keep in mind if we put a 15 calf average on a cow. If you do raise a replacement heifer and she turns out right you can get 15 calves out of her if you purchase a 8 year old you will get 8 calves or so out of her. So to equal that 1 retained heifer you will have to be correct on 2 of those 7-8 year old cows. That is one reason why I retain and purchase heifers because if she turns out right chances are she will last me the rest of my years in the cattle business. [/QUOTE]
