[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 479350, member: 6543"] Dun, I can not speak for others but in my case it is to overcome a managment deficiency. We fall calve as summer is the hardest time on cattle in our country. We wean the calves in late spring and hope the cows can forage enough to gain back a little condition before calving. If we get fall rains which this year we didn't we can stockpile fescue and go through most of the winter. Where I have the heifers I don't have enough grass to run them thru the summer. It is easier and cheaper for me to feed the heifers than it is to acquire and fence more land. I would love to have more land but it is selling for around 20 grand an acre around here and if anything I may have to sell mine in order to pay the confiscatory property taxes. despite all the doom and gloom the new media is talking about the subdivision and the expensive houses going up seems to have only slowed margianlly around here.
