[QUOTE="townfarmer, post: 664178, member: 9305"] We have a small fold of highland cattle. There is one cow who has a wonderful quiet temperment. She raises beautiful beefy (for highland) calves and she keeps in great condition through winter and drought. But as you can see from the photo's she has terrible feet. My question is this. If she and her progeny are joined to bulls with excellent feet, can this be problem be bred out or will it be a recurring issue that will continue to haunt us? I'm loathe to cull her due to the other desirable qualities she has. We have other cows with good feet but they don't come close to her in mothering ability and easy keeping [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/IMGP3322.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/IMGP3320.jpg[/img] Andrew [/QUOTE]
