Abstract
"At times, heifers can be mor eprofitable to feed than steers. You can usually buy heifers at 8 to 14 cents a pound less than steers for feedlot replacements. On the basis of their merit as feeder or stocker cattle, heifers are often underpriced in comparison to steers. This is especially true when you manage heifers to reduce some of their pregnancy and estrus problems. Heifers finish more quickly than steers; for you, this means a faster cash flow. In addition, feeding both heifers and steers can prolong marketing times."--First page.
