[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1798749, member: 1715"] 1) Kenny nailed that timing is key. 2) An issue is local feed cost 3) Another issue is local replacement pricing 4) Income tax strategy 5) And then there is herd size Seems like bred heifers are worth more in the west and cost less to winter there. My genetics allow me to winter heifers with cows on cow hay for less than the local pricing, but they still cost more than buying aged cows. A stout pen or a remote pasture for multiple bulls works. A herd of one does not work well. So sell the heifers unless you really want to mess with AI and then lease a clean-up bull. [/QUOTE]
