[QUOTE="EastTxBrushCattle, post: 1111682, member: 21340"] Not knowing the prices in your area, I can only tell you $1200 for a bred heifer out of the pasture here is a good price. Based on what I've been seeing at the sale recently, you can get a decent light bred heifer around here for $1200. Most out of the pasture are $1500 and up. If I was in your shoes, depending on the bull they were exposed to and the frames on the girls you are looking at, I wouldn't be afraid to pick up a few if they are confirmed bred. All things considered, I would prefer to buy younger cows that have had a live calf and have been bred back. But if the price is right and I know who I am buying from, I wouldn't have a problem taking a gamble on bred heifers either. At the end of the day, it's your money at risk either way so you have to do what you feel comfortable with. If you still have the numbers on the bull they are exposed to, post them up here. I'm sure some of these more knowledgeable guys can pick the numbers apart and give you a good idea of what you are looking at. [/QUOTE]
