Dr. Joe goes over the dairy heifer replacement dilemma - should I raise my own, should I custom raise, or should I buy replacements? Economic considerations, non-economic considerations, biosecurity, quality of product and more discussed today. Big shout out to Jim Salfer for helping with the discussion at the in-person meeting on this topic.
