[QUOTE="North Ridge Ranching, post: 933005, member: 18694"] I was going to reply to this, and then I wasn't, but I just have to. You must really think you are the only guy out there to have this business figured out to make a narrow minded statement like that. I have a couple questions : 1. What is your source of these "proven cows". 2. Do you think a "proven cow" you buy will last longer in your herd than one you raise? 3. Why will a bull last longer if you buy your replacements? Unless you have an extremely small herd or horrible records, you should be able to run a bull in your herd as long as he can go without breeding any of his daughters. 4. Why is there no genetic advantage to keeping your own heifers? I would think knowing the genetics, and not just the breeding, of your cows is a huge advantage to buying cows that you don't know any of the genetics about. I'm not trying to pick a fight, and I know we will end up agreeing to disagree, but I don't like a blanket statement like that with nothing to back it up. [/QUOTE]
