[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1292215, member: 1715"] No. Hard to sell replacement heifers here unless you have registered cattle or are cooperating with some well known local producers. Sometimes they will pool 100s of heifers from the same lines AI ed to the same bulls. I dabble in replacements because I like things complicated. My retained heifers winter on the cow, get re sorted again before breeding (culls sell as heiferettes), AI synced, then re re sorted after calving (culls sell as freezer beef). My retained second calvers are reasonable since my inputs are low and I usually make a little off the culls. An interesting thing is that some cow lines turn out to be bullet proof, while others are almost useless, for replacements. If you think you have a couple of the bullet proof kind you should invest in proven AI cow maker semen. [/QUOTE]
