[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 630543, member: 694"] Cypress your right but don't forget the dam on ever retained heifer returned nothing to the bottom line as well, thats a pretty hefty cost to retain you have put a 1.35 a day into the dam for 2 years with no return on investment as well as the heifer + 700 bucks in the heifer after weaning until she calf's and another 200 days until she returns to the bottom line. You also have no write off on the heifer if she falls over dead. Calving heifers is always a crap shoot at best. For a commericial operation where you are not retaining genetic value your burning money to produce retaining heifers. [/QUOTE]
