[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1144855, member: 18945"] Sounds like he is considering selling the year old heifers and buying more-and/or better breds. I bought weaned heifers last year about this time to better my herd, and it worked out but only because prices have continued to rise. It all depends Don, on how much you have in your heifers, what you can get for them compared to what you have in them or what breds will cost you, iow--whether it pencils out. Is your goal is to acquire better genetics instead of just more quantity? Have calves sooner (from bought breds) instead of waiting for your heifers to get bred and calve? [/QUOTE]
