[QUOTE="cloud9cattle, post: 1144283, member: 22303"] I bought a heifer last week weighed 575 pounds and brought 2.20 to get her home. Since then i have come off the cloud i was on when purchasing that female and have come to realize we will not be buying anymore young heifers due to the market. If I were in your position I would proably ship her as well. 1.75-2.00 bucks a pound is a solid return on any investment. My rule of thumb for me or a trend ive been setting for myself has always been starting with young heifers ( 1st calf heifers) and once a female pays for herself then ill look at retaining her progeny. With my investment last week... there is a good chance if the market holds up for a couple years i can get my return. Then have a 3 year old cow who has her life ahead of her to stack the chedda. :banana: :banana: :banana: Make your money... no one knows what tommorow will bring. We could be at the start of a drought for 7 months... you never know. Feeder calves and yearling heifers are in high demand. [/QUOTE]
