    How come that after a bad year with a lot of light cattle around that some farmers think there is a shortage of breeding heifer. On DD I see alot of heifers suitable for breeding that maybe are a bit back off the weight. I always taught that you should breed off the best animal. Most just happen to be AAX and HEX . Maybe I am just dumb there must be a shortage of breeding heifers and fellas are scouring the country for same.

    Cuz da gud uns are too good not to fatten and slaughter!

    Think it's just fellas chancing their arm tbh that they could get a little more mulla then they are worth by calling them breeding hiefers.
