[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1418382, member: 22295"] Again we are all entitled to our opinion. If I sell the heifer I raise and then have to go buy a replacement heifer,develop and breed her I haven't gained anything. When the cattle we sell are at the top the day we sell them we know we are doing something right. Like many we have proved we can retain a heifer(know what she is and will likely do)and develop her for far less than we can go buy one either just before or just after she calves. If there was no money in developing heifers there wouldn't be so many doing it. By retaining heifers we know the family history on lets us continue to raise calves that will sell at the top end and reduces our cull rate considerably. It might not be the best for you but for us it makes us the most money. [/QUOTE]
