[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1798631, member: 6291"] If you have the places to hold them I would keep them if you need replacements. The high calf price deal is relative because cow prices tend to track with calf prices. Definitely pull the bull and feed him and dump the heifers back in with cows. You will need a good set up for him. You can't have bulls on one side and cows right on the othe side of the wire. I would not worry about the bull breeding his daughters. Just don't keep retaining them, again. Make sure you have a good heifer friendly bull that you know the epds on. Keeps good books on the expenses and labor for them. There is only one way to know and that is to try it. [/QUOTE]
