[QUOTE="dun, post: 1002073, member: 34"] If she's doing her job keep her, when she starts to be marginal or fails, her employment status should change to working a short time at mcdonalds. As to keeping all heifers, we keep a goodly number but my criteria is "would I be willing to buy her if someone else was selling her". I;ve found that by using that criteria the age of the herd is gradually getting oldr and the number of heifers that make the cut is getting larger. It's kind of funny (to me anyway) that both the commercial and registered cows are getting to be more and more descended from just a couple of cows. We have one family of Red Angus that are daughters, grandaughters or great grandaughters of one cow. From that one cow we have 7 daughters grandughters great grandaughters in production and 2 of the older cows popped out some super (as far as you can tell at less then a week) dughters. Granny is the biggest contributor to the commercial cows. [/QUOTE]
