[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 538027, member: 7645"] You might want to try talking to your county agent or regional beef cattle specialist or county Cattleman's Assoc President about this. I have read about some individuals and county groups around the country building/establishing joint heifer development programs where heifer calves are weaned, grown out, and bred then returned as bred heifers to their farm of origin. I read that Hale County (I think), AL has started a preconditioning lot like that for feeder calves. The risk of mixing cattle from different sources concerns me some; but you would think that somebody would know somebody somewhere where you could grow out those heifers for you for a very nominal fee with other heifers.
