[QUOTE="simme, post: 1765992, member: 40418"] To me, those two sentences seem to not support each other. Getting replacements from proven cows seems good. But the second sentence that maternal traits are not very heritable seems to cast doubt on whether a replacement from a proven cow will carry those same traits from the cow. I do believe in the value of cow families. Sure makes more sense to me than keeping replacements out of poor performing cows. And cow performance includes way more than just growth and pounds.
