[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1721469, member: 498"] B pointed out that those good bred heifers would be better than buying broken mouth cows. Calf them out, rebreed, sell the calves, and sell the heifers in the fall as coming with second calf. That would be a workable plan. The heifers are only a couple hundred more to buy. Probably won't lose any heifers but with BM cows you have to figure a 5% death lose. Selling coming with second calf is worth a lot more than the kill price on a BM cow. Would've, should've, could've. I don't think I will see many of those kind showing up at the sale. And you still need to find something to feed until grass comes on in April. [/QUOTE]
