[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1831293, member: 694"] There are actually some great deals in our area right now if you can carry them. People are out of grass and hay. I just bought some for 1100 bucks. I can't raise them for this. I don't have my final figures but right now it looks like two dollars a day to carry a cow. That puts a retained heifer at over 3K in inputs before she produces a penny. Her dam contributed nothing to your operation for two years and the retained heifer as well. That's nearly 3K in cost to get her to production This is from a commercial standpoint as there is no genetic benefits in retaining a crossbreed heifer over a bought one. [/QUOTE]
