[QUOTE="Brahma Bull, post: 358379, member: 5767"] Yep,perhaps so.I bought 6 heifers in the ring few years ago.I lost one calfing.One had a difficult time calfing and one didn't make a good cow,sold these 2 last year.But still have the other 3.They are santa gertrudis and beefmaster.Then got a good deal on a black/white speckle brahma heifer.The man that sold her said she was too wild and crazy,would mess up his herd.So she is my best cow now.No problem with her 1st calf.So looks like a roll of the dice when you buying heifers.Then what about all these heifers selling at the replacement sales or like the ones selling at livestock shows for high dollars.The guys that buy them are so well off,they are able to take that risk,take the loss if anything goes wrong?Where as a small guy like me it would be a train wreck.I can't afford much more loss after loosing 1/2 my herd to different things the past 2 years.So though I would try buying the best I could find.
