[QUOTE="Heronfish, post: 1843408, member: 42393"] It doesnt matter where you operate. It takes time and money to breed maternal and you're giving up pounds of beef to do so. This isn't a point of argument. You cannot have the best steers on sale day and good efficient feminine heifers at the same time. There are trade offs. I've done the math here. I pay good money for replacement cows and it still costs me less than keeping heifers. And the quality is as good or better than what I can make. Surely there is good money to be made making females for sale. And I'm glad guys are doing it. Between them and dispersal there are always enough to buy I don't need a separate pasture of my own.
