[QUOTE="Toad, post: 1203985, member: 20188"] I've spent a few years building up a herd and have had better luck out of old cows then the bred heifers I bought. Of the old cows I bought last year one was shipped this year because although she raised an impressive calf it just pulled her down way too much. I almost doubled my money by selling the cow and the 500# calf so I still did okay on her. The rest have all been bred back for another go. I'm saving a few heifers out of them as well and will continue to so my herd will be younger in years to come. My plan is to continue to grow the herd by buying old cows and then keeping the best heifers from them. Its a lot cheaper than buying the heifers straight out and I can also be a lot more choosey over which ones I want to keep. [/QUOTE]
