[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1815017, member: 40587"] Not necessarily true, at all. I recently met a guy that raises commercial 1/2 reg black Simm and 1/2 reg Chi-Angus heifers that he sells for replacements. I have seen a lot of the pics on here of replacements that members have raised, and I haven't seen one yet come close to these in quality. When you get one you get a copy of the Dam's papers,, a record of her previous calves' BW, WW and if kept long enough YW., as well as for the heifer you are buying. You get a copy of her sire's papers and complete EPDs, and you get that heifers health records.. Vacc records and dates, worming records, etc. You will have the same info you would have if this was your operation and you were breeding and raising these yourself. I have another associate that keeps 250 Brahma cows....150 registered and 100 purebred not registered. He will breed you 10, 20, 30 or more f1 heifers of any other breed you want, AI'ed by any bull you want. You can even chose which cows you want to breed. He makes it very affordable and easy to budget for. You pay 1/3 when you pick out the cow and the bull, 1/3 when the heifer is born, and the other 1/3 when you pick them up at 7 mos old. This year they were mostly $1500-2k. If you wanted a herd of say, 50 f1 Braford cows, I don't see how you could do anything [I]but[/I] buy them . To raise your own, you'd have the expense of buying and maintaining a 50-cow Brahma herd, in addition to having room for your 50 f1's. If you had the room for 100 cows, you'd come out better to just buy 100 f1's from the start. [/QUOTE]
