[QUOTE="dun, post: 302680, member: 34"] Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you have genetics in your heifers that work well in your environment and under your managment and forage systems, keeping replacements while the pay back will take a little longer you'll have animals that are a better bet on working out for you. If you're trying to alter the makeup of your herd then buying outside cows may make more sense, with the caveat that they may not be optimal for your herd. We occasioanlly buy a replacment, I'm a sucker for a pretty face, and usually 4 out of 5 will work out for us. Of our retained replacments maybe 1 in 20 won;t work out. dun [/QUOTE]
