[QUOTE="alftn, post: 759402, member: 5647"] I guess the answer is YES....We have been down this road several times before....I can not buy heifers as good as I can raise...I bought 6 ,05 modles from a basic Black Angus commerical herd...culled all but 2 in the frist 3 years... Got 8 calves in 3 years.... Raised 4, 06 modles PB Black angus Have got 8 calves in 2 years, no deads , no opens POINT IS all 10 animals raised the same(at least weaning on) , together, yet there is a difference in the animals, some produce some do not....Only one of the six I bought has calved every year, the rest went open or had a dead calf.. I WOULD LOVE 6 OF FRANKIES GIRLS to add to my herd, then I would have something to compare my to.....Although it would be a waste to take six PB Black angus and breed them to a Hereford.... [/QUOTE]
