[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1303869, member: 24565"] A dichotomy of thought. East versus West. Hot versus Cold. High milk is not maternal. Adequate milk is maternal. High milk = Calf production towards terminal traits to the detriment of the cow's fertility. Energy allocation of the cow has a set protocol. Last to next to last place of allocation: reproduction. High maternal is seeking the most influential trait in the livestock business for economic return: fertility of the female to breed and rebred while the female has sound functional and convenience traits to raise her offspring. Economics is key. Money makes the mare trot. [/QUOTE]
