[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1413146, member: 14585"] No, you are not off base. Although you might be comparing 650-700 lb feeder heifers at 1.42 = $950/hd ($923 - $994) to some ranchers who are way too proud of their 700 lb purebred replacement heifers and asking $2000 I'd suggest that a rookie should shy away from buying open heifers and instead buy 3 in 1 cows to start out. (3 in 1 = Bred cow with calf at her side) You may want to pay a cattle buyer commission and enlist his help in selecting 3 in ones at the sale barn. All the Best to you and yours.... way up there on Ruby Ridge :) [/QUOTE]
