[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 630443, member: 55"] I always have a hard time deciding if I should keep some heifers or sell them and buy bred heifers or cows. I have kept some that turned out to be duds and bought some that were duds too. I like knowing exactly what I got and not bringing in new one you don't know the history off but dislike the 2 year wait for a return. I always think that I am giving up one calf by retaining. Some that I retain don't seem to breed as quick as I think they should which has me second guessing myself. I have bought some bred but they breed back slow after calving making me wonder if they were sold because of being slow breeders. Last year my daughter bought a open heifer ready to bred for slightly more than what we sold weaned heifers for that has me to thinking about trying more of that as I feel I gain about nine months over my weaned heifers. I would like to hear what others are doing and what they think is the best for the herd and bottom line. [/QUOTE]
