[QUOTE="CowpokeJ, post: 252415, member: 4418"] Where did you get your cows to start with? The sale barn here, the better cows bring $1000+ and the not so good $600. Yes, these cows could have problems, but who's to say that $2500 replacement sale cow is going to be breeding sound? Better bred, sure. Private treaty is an option, I bought 3-1's for 1200. 3/4 gert 1/4 red angus momma's with 3-4 wt black heifers on side out of mound creek bulls. My friend has some purebred beefs, second calve in em for $1200. I've heard before keep your replacements when the price of calves is low. If you do the math on what it's going to cost to feed and keep her until she has a calf it starts adding up. I saw a write up from A&M touting the costs associated with keeping replacements while the market is so high. With your drought situation you may be better selling and not getting anything. [/QUOTE]
