[QUOTE="1848, post: 200118, member: 1303"] :lol: :lol: Funny Dun Monk, Sometimes to much muscle in an animal can lead to calving issues. I would stick to maternal characteristics up front...especially since you used "brood herd" as your goal. Good cows will give you those good calves, and you can always ad the muscle to a terminal set of calves with the right AI bull. If you wanted replacements from the cows, you could change the sire up for a round or two. Going AI will allow you to pick the characteristics you want down the road, but having that good cow will always be to the calfs advantage. [/QUOTE]
