[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1639485, member: 1715"] Buying replacements is fine just don't over state the cost of retaining in current market: 500 x $1.30 is $650 for a retained heifer. Costs will vary but $1/day should easily feed a small one in cow country. So 650 + 365 is U$S 1,015 to become a basic bred heifer. Add in vet and breeding and interest costs gets you up to about $ 1,100. Opens are sold for a premium as freezer beef. OH varies but you could add $100. Yes, I can buy a bred heifer for less than $1,200 if I shop around and I am willing to sort. [/QUOTE]
