That is for sure.I only paid $500 each for the commerical heifers in the ring,then twice that for the reg. brahmas I bought.But the Red Brahams and Indu Brazilian I ask about were $1600 to $7500 each.Some were $2500,$3500,$4500.
I am pretty sure Registered Beefmaster,Santa Gertrudis,Red Brangus heifers that are show quality and with some + on their papers will cost about the same.They are sure enough a big investment.Can not afford to make any mistakes.So if I would wait until they are almost 4 years old to AI them,then to a bull that puts out small calves my best bet?As I told my wife if I am on the ship out in the ocean.Better have them in the shed right behind the house,and some to watch them when time comes to calf.Then maybe even call the vet for just in case.Sure would hurt to loose one of those show heifers.
