[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 350338, member: 1900"] Mike - that's some good advice on the second statement. We raise and buy replacement heifers. let me tell you - it is a whole lot easier and cheaper to by breeding ready heifers than to raise them right now. 2 years ago, I'd have to say it was cheaper to raise them, b/c their cost had gotten ridiculously high. It was high enough for my neighbor to actually change his management practices so that he could raise and sell them. Getting him to change anything is like getting Congress to do something intelligent. If you raise them - you should have a way to keep them away from the bull and other cows so that they won't get bred too early and so you can give them the nutrition they need. [/QUOTE]
