[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 488605, member: 2862"] When expanding around here, I do all of the above posted ideas, however I really prefer to raise my own replacements. Given what calves are worth, versus buying bred replacements, the raised replacements end up being cheaper in the long run and I end up with more cash in my pocket, which is what we're all aiming for, right? Caveat: this year, bred replacements are selling dirt cheap up here. Raising your own replacements has its advantages in that you have a pretty good idea of what you've got around the placefor genetics, and you have some disease resistance already in the stock. Buying from outside the ranch, especially if you're new to the business or don't have a reliable supplier, can be a crap shoot. Rod [/QUOTE]
