[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1418563, member: 6291"] CB makes some good points that ever one needs to consider but I agree what works for one does not work for all. We buy and retain cattle. I cull just as many purchased cattle as retained cattle, if not more. What I like about retaining them is any where along the way I can sell them and usually get real close to breaking even just on weight gain. I've got 2 heifers right now that have had their first calf and are bred back. I'm not real happy with them so I am going to sell them as bred 2nd calf heifers, or 3N1s. One man's trash is another man's treasure. As long as I am honest with the buyer and sell at what we both agree is fair, I have no problem with it. I will get my money back on them, or so close it won't matter. Friend of mine just sent me a pic Friday of a black heifer he bought from me bred back to a tigerstripe bull. It has a good little red and white calf standing beside her. He's happy as can be. I sell off every thing that doesn't carry as much ear as I would like but a lot of people specifically want those so it works good for both of us. [/QUOTE]
