[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1848200, member: 43107"] I think I like the idea of selling the heifers and buying a replacement or two. This isn't something I would need to do frequently but I do have one or two that are still producing good calves but getting a little long in the tooth as they say. Sold one last year that had a good calf but only had one tooth left - she was noticeably going down hill so I let her go. I'd kind of like to get a couple of charolais just because I like the calves these current ones produce - and they fetch a fair price at the sale barn. Will probably maintain a dominantly brangus group as they have proven to be a good fit. I just like to see a little color in the pasture. Both the brangus & the charolais here have been consistent performers. We'll just have to see how the oddball gray cow's calf does. This is the first one I've seen from her. The rest are pretty solid producers. Appreciate the input - all valid points and easy enough for my little peanut brain to understand. And the five I kept from last year are still too young to make the call on - they look good…I suppose time will tell. [/QUOTE]
