[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1347859, member: 5612"] Buy cows that are suited to your area, *have really good temperaments*, and have had their tracts examined. Ideally, they've been AI'd successfully before, or have at least had a gun passed through their cervix. If you want to go a step further, especially if you are using them for high dollar embryos, you might also have blood work done to check for PI, leukosis, etc... You can make it as complicated as you want - bare minimum or all the bells and whistles. Personally, I would select on temperament first, and then go down the list of priorities from there. [/QUOTE]
