[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1052125, member: 5612"] Depending on your financial situation, you might consider bypassing the whole raising heifers and putting in embryos idea and just buy a couple of mature cows, dry and bred or otherwise. While startup would be a bit higher, your risk would be MUCH lower and you would be making a return on your investment MUCH sooner. Things to consider: Cost of milk replacer and feed to raise two heifers to breeding. One or both heifers could die prior to breeding. You would have to FIND and probably buy the embryos. One or both could not settle to embryo (likely, and mucho expensive) One or both could lose the calf, before or during calving. One or both could be poor mamas. They probably won't be able to raise as many calves as a mature cow. Lots of variables. With heifers, in any breed, there are going to be obstacles. [/QUOTE]
