[QUOTE="mgman, post: 104292, member: 647"] Replacement heifers are ones that are retained to add to your herd (and ultimately produce calves) versus ones that you plan to sell for slaughter/meat. Assuming the cow you are planning to buy has a heifer calf on her now, and assuming that she has a heifer calf next year, you would potentially have 3 females that you could use to expand your herd. As others have stated, it will take you a very long time to build up a herd that way unless you plan on purchasing additional females for breeding...keep in mind that 50% heifer calves is about what you can expect in any given year.
