[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 603579, member: 2653"] Deno, I have never understood this - how bred heifers bring so much money, but cows so little in comparison. Back several years ago I posted a thread about a brangus auction I went to where the bred heifers were bringing 2 to 3 times as much as there moma's (with calves at their side). The general concensus at the time was that people feel the heifer to be gentically superior. I think this is so counter-intuitive. A bred heifer who could potentially have calving problems and has not proven herself versus a moma cow who's had a couple of calves already and shown her worth. For me it's a no brainer. Right now in this area you can buy three bred cows for the price of two bred heifers - soon it'll be at one bred heifer = two bred cows. What are people thinking??? [/QUOTE]
