[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1774291, member: 968"] FH - yes and no. If the individual animal was extremely high gain COMPARED to both parents, then, #1 he was hand fed, #2 an outlier and may never repeat this with his offspring, or #3 the stars aligned just right and he happens to be a great gainer thru genetics and "may" pass it on. Some calves have tremendous gains, inheriting from the sire with the cow being low growth. You can usually plan on 50/50 on his offspring. You may get his dams' genes one time and his sire's genes the next. You are always better off with an animal that has "like" parents, so it's not hit & miss. [/QUOTE]
