[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1418316, member: 22295"] It is different for everyone and also the area a person lives in makes a difference which is best. We have found in our situation it is cheaper for us to retain heifers and we also have a better idea what kind of cow they will make. Less culling. Like I stated before I purchased some for myself over the last 18 months. Have talked to several others that have also while trying to rebuild following the drought. Even buying the top dollar "Northern replacements" most have experienced a considerably higher cull rate than they do on their own retained heifers. I will be culling some I bought. The jury is still out on a few. I did buy some proven registered cows 4-5 y/o for about what a 2 y/0 bred would cost and they have worked out good. But unless something from a very reputable breeder comes available with a mother I can look at I hope I'm done buying any replacements. Again I maybe pickier than many are. [/QUOTE]
