So far, we have sold about 25% of our heifers born in 2005. Of the remaining 75%, we will probably sell the bottom third of them before turning bulls out in the spring. So I guess in round figures, we will end up keeping about 50% of the 2005 heifer crop to calve as two-year-olds in 2007.

Of the heifer calves born in 2004, we have about 30% of them that we have held over to calve this spring (2006).

Most of our cow herd are home-grown, but once in a while I buy some cows or bred heifers that look like they will fit into our program. These are usually only purchased when the price is right. Bred females are high enough this year that I have not even been tempted. :? :wink:
