[QUOTE="danielsumner, post: 683245, member: 12883"] What got me too ask this question is a thread a couple of post down from this one: Re: Anyone doing this? by backhoeboogie on Tue Jul 28, 2009 8:45 am Day old holstein heifers were bringing $800 and up. Bull calves were still pretty cheap. Most dairies quit crossing because of heifer prices. Why would they cross breed and have a heifer worth $150 maybe? I haven't priced heifers since the milk price bust. Mostly I buy brangus heifer calves that are split from an aged cow when they are sold as pairs and no one bids. [color=#FF0000]If the heifer calf has shortened ears, I don't take her[/color]. My nurse cow calves with a half brangus calf each year. The steers are usually black and make a lot of money. The heifers both natural and grafted are added to the herd. Our ancestors gave us this. They fought to make it what it is. All we have to do is defend it. Daniel [/QUOTE]
