[QUOTE="Ned Jr., post: 418912, member: 3703"] I've been retaining 100% of the heifers in my registered herd. I like to give them all a chance. I would sell the bottom end if I could tell which ones they were without calving them out. The heifer calves I would of sold often end up making the top cows. I then sell bred cows I decide aren't measuring up for one reason or another. I always tell the customer why I'm selling each cow and it's usually a minor enough reason it doesn't bother them any. I feel I've made good progress improving the herd doing this. I try to always buy good maternal bulls and every year the heifers are from a better set of cows.The demand for my females is growing every year also. This is just another way of doing things.
