[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1831272, member: 24816"] Wife and I are having the same conversation right now,with some fall calves we’ve usually kept back our own heifers. Kept 10 spring heifers from last year, 9 were bred and due this spring, culled the open last week. Heifers are a long program and not for everybody. I will say though that I’d rather deal with heifers than to bring in a bunch of old set in their ways cows. I agree with [USER=39695]@SBMF 2015[/USER] your raised heifers know you and the routine, that’s worth a lot in itself. I’ve also found that buying in heifers around 500 pounds or so they learn pretty fast if you keep them up close for a little while and feed and spend some time around them. I’ve have pretty good success with that aspect too. Sometimes even older heifers are set in their ways and hard to deal with. [/QUOTE]
