[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1821280, member: 498"] B and I have discussed this. This year there was 128 old broken mouth cows when they were all put together. Some from his own herd and more which were purchased. Should we look through the cows and note ones with good feet and legs and udders. Keep those records and look at the heifers which they have. Bad feet and legs just don't last long in this country so that is mostly a mute point. But we do have some real good looking udders and terrible ones. Of course to an extent heifers from the purchased cows we don't know what the bull was that bred the cow. But for the most part around here these larger ranches search out very good bulls. But it is an idea we have discussed. I think when the market drops and heifers don't sell as well we will look closer into this. [/QUOTE]
