[QUOTE="E in PA, post: 913630, member: 15339"] I was pretty much in your shoes a couple years back. I went to a nearby farmer who raised angus. I bought 2 smaller weaned heifer calves off of him. I figured I would raise them til the next spring and then decide to butcher or breed. Kept them, bred them and now one has calved and i am waiting on the 2nd one. But this is 17 months after i bought them, and i will have to wait another 7 months to sell their calves. it all depends how quick of a "return on your investment" you want. i dont regret my decision, but if i had it to do again, i would have bought bred cows from him. which i did this past fall. he would have sold me the same cows when i bought the heifers. one is 10 the other 6. your looking at a "return" in 1 year for the cows instead of 2 for the heifers. just my 2 cents.
