[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1092627, member: 694"] Anyone that knows me knows my take on heifers. There is absolutely no reason to retain heifers in a commercial operation. They are a crap shoot number one and they will cost you as much or more by the time they reach production. Retained heifer die calving or just fall over dead there is no write off tax wise. You are money ahead to purchase heavies that know how to work. And last but not least a Hereford or Braford cow. Preferably braford. With a red cow I can change the calf crop by changing the bull. If I want red baldies run a Hereford black an Angus or Brangus high yellow a Char. In East Texas you want some Brimmer the heifers will fetch a premium as replacements. Lot of people relearned brimmer 101 during the droughts. [/QUOTE]
