[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1301182, member: 16547"] From the original post I think running heifers can be a money maker. Here is my twist on it. I have mostly seedstock kind of cows. I got few guys running just my bulls. They don't like to AI, don't like heifers, etc. I want to trade them a bred cow in the fall carrying a bull calf for 2 of their weanling heifers. I'll get them AI'd and only animal to ever leave the farm as a bred would be them carrying bull calves or cows that don't need to be replacement type cattle. Anyone see why that would or wouldn't work? I think I'd need to give them 2nd-4th calf cows. I would only do it with known genetics too. I got all kinds of room with dairy cattle around for heifers, cow calf pairs is where I'm limited to renting pasture and some of them I can't run a bull on..........also couple of the guys calve about 2 months later than I do so any "late" bred cows could be marketed that way....
