[QUOTE="TennesseeTuxedo, post: 1156286, member: 16965"] We do both HD. We paid $2,000 a head for 15 registered Angus heifers in the fall of 2012. They were bred and all but 1 calved within a 45 day window in 2013. The one that slipped her calve delivered successfully in the fall of 2013. This year we are keeping back 10 heifers, 5 or 6 from that group and the others from our other cows. Since we aren't really hung up on watching the bottom line I never really gave their cost much thought. Assuming a sale barn price of $2.20 a pound and assuming we would have sold them at 500 pounds I guess we missed out on $1,100 apiece. We kept 2 bulls out of the 2013 group and sold one to a man who just drove up one day and asked if we had a young bull for sale. He gave $1,900 for the rascal which made me pretty proud. [/QUOTE]
