Your Dad probably forgot more about running grass cattle than most will ever know. I like grassing heifers myself-run some A'I through them I can always turn them into cows if need be.

We're taking all ours through to yearling age now - either to sell in August or grass fatten in October. If I wasn't breeding them myself I think I'd rather be custom grazing yearlings rather than buying in and owning. At least you can externalize a lot of the risk that way.
