[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 950184, member: 1715"] Started leasing pasture and buying stockers with a credit card advance. :shock: Retained shiny calm heifers and still have about 75% of them in the herd. Not perfect cows but they work in my system. Then purchased bred heifers. Have less than half of them left and would not do this again. Heifers can be dumb and hard cull'in gets expensive. Then purchased aged bred red, rwf, herf, cows. The calve on grass ones from dispersals cost the least and are money makers. I am now using one round of AI on them and then holding back some of the biggest wf heifers. These cows have now had a couple calves and I am going to have to start culling them... :( [/QUOTE]
