Would anyone sell their good heifers?

[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 935875, member: 8265"] Isn't there a saying that there's a price for everything? Don't know how someone could say they'd never sell something. I don't think the quality or consistency was there in the herd I went to, and since it's less common breed, not alot of options. Which makes picking from a bunch of heifers more of a crapshoot. I might just give up this adventure and go with more prevalent breeds. Ideally I would go look at calves while still on their moms to see udders, disposition, frame, etc. How many of you would allow that? Or are the cows all scattered when with calf? I actually looked at one herd in June with about 3 month old calves. Saw one heifer and mom I really liked, and he said I could have her when weaned. Called months later and he said they had found the calf dead. I later wondered about that story. [/QUOTE]
