[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1758368, member: 25884"] Another thing to consider... with all the cattle being sold in drought stricken areas, there will be a big reduction in available heifers for replacements and prices are going to climb. I see prices of heifers in the 1.70's on reports from stockyards on DV Auction... I don't see any benefit to feeding out heifers... Yes they will be a little smaller than steers but I do not find them to finish out any faster than steers and coming in heat is a pain... if you feed to suppress that then you are getting into artificial stuff that some people do not want.
