[QUOTE="dun, post: 44176, member: 34"] Depends on the bull, but I don't see why not. We have several 1B cows and their calves are just as consistant year after year as the 1A cows. If you remember back to my long time back "got milk post", that cow is 1B. Horned Hereford 5-6 generations back. As a heifer and as a cow she has given us some very good consitant calves. The key to me is the consistancy. Her first 2 calves have also generated a premium. The first for being in the top slaughter pen for the month at Excel, the other when we retained 25% ownership and after all the fees and costs were paid out, we got more for our 25% then we had for the original 75%. Part of that was the normal market, but part of it was a high choice yg2 with a high feed efficiency. Last years calf we sold outright to the feedlot so no premium for him. I wish I had a dozen just like her, and of course, she's never given us a heifer. dun [/QUOTE]
