[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1020771, member: 14661"] Hold what you've got! Registered cattle that aren't just what you want are just glorified commercial cattle. Hold what you have, if they don't do what they're supposed to, cull and replace with something that will do what you want. If you want seedstock then you need to be a perfectionist about it and pay what the best of the breed is worth and not just buy whatever has a set of papers. I learned that lesson the hard way. I work in genetics and so I KNOW BETTER and I still learned the hard way. Out of thirty head of registered cows that I bought the cows that weren't just exactly what I wanted have either wound up as commercial cows or beef. I paid a premium for six head and they have been the ones that made the deal worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
