[QUOTE="Heronfish, post: 1843138, member: 42393"] In order to calculate the cost of that retained bred heifer, one must take the cost of what you could have sold her at weaning, then the cost of two winters of feed and a summer of grazing. Then try to calculate the lost opportunity cost Completely different breeds here jn Canada, but the same game. Here a tan calf leads every sale. And on the remale side, a angus/simmental with a splash of white on the face will lead replacement/bred heifer sale. And if you want to keep moderate framed, efficient breeding cows around, you have to sell all those calves and replace them with good angus cows. One has to pick his poison either way. If you're going to breed your own replacements, you're leaving those dollars on the table [/QUOTE]
