[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 675041, member: 2653"] Howdy Backhoe. I sometimes sell heifers as replacements, depending on how "fancy" (I hate that term) they look. As weird as it sounds, replacements with some ear to them bring more here. If they are black, then add some more to the value. Almost all of the replacemment sales around here intended for commercial cattlemen have either brangus types, tiger stripes, or black baldies. So while a terminal bull, like a charolais, would yield better/bigger calves, you'd take a hit if you sold heifer calves as replacements. There isn't any magic bullet that I know of. Below are two pics of the Angus plus bull that I have. He's no show boy, but he puts some nice calves on the ground, and not one born dead yet (I just jinxed myself) He was a two year old in the pics.
