[QUOTE="Dave, post: 318255, member: 498"] I have seen reports of those $1,600 heifers too. I also see on Stampede there are a lot of heifers priced at $1,200 that haven't moved at all. The guy I buy my bulls from who is a real sharp cattleman told me he figures it cost him $1,100 to get a heifer up to calving. I don't think I could do it any better or cheaper than he does it. From a purely herd improvement stand point you should be better off keeping your own heifers because you are in control of your breeding program. From the money end of things I think you are better off to sell the heifers and buy good mid age bred cows. Cows will give you a quicker return on your money without some of the problems that heifers bring. Dave [/QUOTE]
