[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1418539, member: 6291"] Guys, you are not going to get CB to admit to retain heifers. Just accept it and move on. :) The tax deal is a wash. There are no tax benefits one way or another. Let's say you keep a calf until 8mo before you sell. It sells for $750. Many people think if they keep that heifer they lost that revenue. In a way they did but it's only because they reinvested it. Their money is still there, it's just invested in another asset, the heifer. It's like taking your dividends and having them automatically buy more stock. The next stage is from 8mo until she is bred. Every ones operation is different so it will cost every one a different amount to hold them. Once they are bred that time gets billed to their calf, just like a cow raising a calf. If it costs you $350 to raise a call with a cow, it should be simular. There are are some that may not breed. They will sell at packer prices. If there is a deficit that will have to be divided among the heifers in production. Keep in mind there could be flat out loss. That cost will also have to be divided among the productive heifers. When you add all those numbers up you can see if keeping heifers works for your operation. If you can sell a few heifers to individuals it really helps the numbers . [/QUOTE]
