[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1322865, member: 9096"] I don't know how well that would pan out... Why not buy 8 year old cows in decent condition and do the same, You can see more of what kind of calf you get looking at an 8 year old than a heifer... But if you're going through that kind of hassle and expense, why not put embryos in to some decent proven older cows, then you have registered stock with EPD's and all, and after 2 years of that you can sell the old cows, AI the calves you've gotten or breed them to one of the calves that was good enough to keep as a bull, and you're well on your way to having a good herd.. No, of course that won't be cheap either, but I think it's the fastest way to get the best genetics into the herd. [/QUOTE]
