[QUOTE="regenwether, post: 798581, member: 5224"] I've never seen a 1400lb cow wean 770 lbs consistant and breed back in time. That would be a goal! My only thought with % replacements being lower with purchased Heifer's is you wouldn't have any open ones. The tough part with purchased heifer's is anyone who sell them that has their own herd don't sell the "cream of crop" but save them for their own herd. The higher % cull rate from them girls may come there. I've got another neighbor who feeds silage to his cow's . He brags how he has some 16 yr old no teeth cows. I wonder what kind of weaning wts. he gets. My experience is one long winter with ICE..you'll get rid of them fast! ;-) [/QUOTE]
