[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1799896, member: 6291"] I am of the same school of thought. We know we have X amount of cows that have to come out every year. That is a given. There is a constant production line producing those replacements that is in motion long before any one knows what market price will be at a given time. Our production line works in the bottom side or the top side of the market so why would I not lock that in with retained heifers? I darn sure don't want to ride the wave like Stocker Steve is describing. That sounds horrible. I have never seen a financial down side to retained heifers. It has minimized daily operational costs, increased production, and even the culls have made money being sold to others or at a heavier weight. [/QUOTE]
