I went to a dairy replacement sale the other day and was amazed at the prices that replacement Springer heifers brought. They was a guy there that was buying a lot of the smaller heifers. There was no way for him to tell which ones were freemartins. They were too young for them to test. My question is this: What kind of market would you have for the freemartins that he ended up with? I realize that he could not sell them at a dairy sale. I seen a freemartin sell that day and it brought very little. Would there be any kind of market for them as feeder heifers at a regular sale? I guess that my question sounds silly, but I have never seen a hoestein Heifer sell at a regular feeder calf sale
