[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1616605, member: 39373"] I like ur idea of keeping the best of the group. We all do that, I think, when selecting replacement animals. I think the biggest problem u are seeing stems from so many different animals from several different unknown sires and dams. They are all gonna grow differently. I'm sure u already know that, but sometimes in our quest for answers, we can overlook the obvious. The calves I've raised on a bottle have all done acceptable to me. Wish I could've kept the last 2. I would be able to tell u how they performed as cows. But, they were both free Martin's, and that's why they left. The one I have now is a twin to another heifer. She is doing just as well, I think, as the one that mama is raising. Her mother is my biggest (by weight) cow. Her father was a mutt bull. The owner called him chi-angus. His calves have all done well. The only complaint I have is he does throw color. Not black. Anyway, I've gone off on a ramble.... lol I think if u had some history on the sires and dams, u would know so much more about what u are dealing with. And just because I like pics... this is the chi-angus I spoke of [url=https://postimg.cc/R6TC2GWC][img]https://i.postimg.cc/R6TC2GWC/Screenshot-20200128-183118-Messages.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
