[QUOTE="SteppedInIt, post: 1301133, member: 20331"] Something I read recently and kinda accidently did over the weekend has really got me thinking. One strategy is one could buy a set of bred heifers, calve them out, keep the calves, breed the heifers back and resale as second calf cow for more money. I assume he breeds the heifer calves he kept??? The point of the scenario is this guy feels he made more money selling the older stock vs keeping cows and selling calves. To me it makes sense to the point of consideration. What I did this weekend, that somewhat follows this concept is... I bought a nice heavy bred cow a year ago, she calved a nice heifer that I am keeping. She is light bred back and I traded her for two nice bred heifers. There were of course some feed cost to maintain the cow, but I think I came out way ahead on the whole deal vs keeping the cow. I know how good this deal is really depends on how the new heifers perform. [/QUOTE]
