[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1847264, member: 5381"] I bought about 25 one and dones last fall thru early winter. I put 7 of them into my permanent herd. They are not anything special, just thin when I bought them. They were bought for around $1100, had a nice calf that will easily pay for the cow and her winter hay. They were called short solid and to me looked closer to solid than the shorts that some vets call them. They have filled out since then and rebred and look to me can go another 3 to 4 years. Retained heifers are nice but getting average calves out of cheap older cows seems like the best deal for me. [/QUOTE]
