[QUOTE="showing71, post: 839915, member: 11621"] That is your key word, cows. I do not use heifer bulls on my cows, nor do I use cow bulls on my heifers. I have enough pasture to be able to split up my cows into each breed with a herd bull of their own breed, and keep my heifers in a separate pasture with a heifer bull. That's just how I do it. Yes, there's other breeds out there, but there's problems in every breed whether people will admit it or not. I've never sold a PB Tar bull to a customer telling them he would be safe on heifers, in fact, I never guarantee a bull of mine of any breed safe to use on heifers unless I have no doubt in my mind he will be. Maybe I am wrong in ensuring my PB Tar heifers have a live calf that will not be a PB. But until I find a true, heifer proven PB Tarentaise bull (if anyone knows of one, let me know), I'd rather have a live, healthy crossbred. I'll rely on my cows to produce the PB calves. [/QUOTE]
