[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 441983, member: 1683"] It is impossible to be accurate with the answers you are seeking because the genetics (EPD's) and phenotype of your cows are unknown - likewise those of the sires. UG's answer is as close as anyone can come under these circumstances. However, I can say that very probably the heifers, if you should decide to use them as replacements, would make more desrable moderate sized cows (1200-1250 lbs) than the cows you presently are using as brood cows. And maybe better milking momma's also! But that is just an educated guess - - I say educated because I know that Balancers usually make great dams, and I DON'T know the specifics about your present dams. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
