[QUOTE="Dave, post: 932334, member: 498"] The people I buy my bulls from told me a few years back that they figured it cost $1,100 to raise a heifer to calving. These people do nothing but cattle. No day job. And they have been pretty successful. I know that they keep real good records. So when they say their real cost are $1,100 I believe them. A few years back when you could buy the best bred cow at the sale for $800 it didn't make a lot of sence to retain heifers. But now with bred cows and heifers worth $1,500-1,800 retaining heifers is just good business. [/QUOTE]
