[QUOTE="franseen, post: 86252, member: 1443"] We just bought some hutches from a person who bought holstein heifers from a sale barn to raise and sell as springers. He bought them at bottle age. Out of 120 heifers he had 30 that were freemartin or had other reproductive problems (wouldn't conceive). Buying replacement heifers that young from a sale barn is a good way to waste money. At least in central WI. Holstein heifers aren't the most profitable animals to feed out after you have raised them to breed. [/QUOTE]
