[QUOTE="Ribeye, post: 485065, member: 7512"] We have been growing our herd pretty aggressively for the past 5 or 6 years now. Started out buying bred heifers had to pull a few calves from time to time plus didn't know anything about the heifer. I haven't had to pull a single calf either. Started retaining my own from my best cows 3 years ago the only reason I would buy heifers again would be to add better genetics. It takes a little extra time but I think the benefits pay plenty in the end product as far as to what you would buy in the sale barn in general. I have often wanted to start selling replacements but I have seen some hard feelings started over this from some close neighbors more than once. [/QUOTE]
