[QUOTE="Texan, post: 149152, member: 416"] Well, I hate to break up a good argument by trying to answer your question, but--- Its really hard for anybody to guess whether or not you might make a profit without knowing what you're going to have to give for your heifers. If you buy them too high, you will most likely lock in a loss for yourself. The only advice I would give on the breeding is to breed them to something that you wouldn't mind having calves out of. That will give you a little more flexibility in your marketing just in case you can't come out on them as bred heifers and need to calve them out. Sounds like you have free access to the Lims, so I'd pick one with a good BW (both actual and EPD). Might as well be black. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
