[QUOTE="dun, post: 360356, member: 34"] ETs I think are just as much as a crap shoot as a normal breeding, you just get to throw the dice more. We've used the same mating on one cow 7 times. The first 5 where great calves, got one heifer from that mating and she is a great cow. Got another heifer from the mating last year and kept her as a replacement. Now that she's a yearling the only thing she'll be replacing is the meat in the freezer. Just had a bull calf from the old cow by the same bull. To put it as politely as possible, he is crap pure and simple. That's one of the reasons that I don;t comprehend why poeple are willing to pay a ton of money for a young animal from a mating that has in the past produced something exceptional without seeing how it's going to turn out. dun [/QUOTE]
