[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1261375, member: 14661"] On the first one she'd have been gone for me when she didn't breed up the first time. A yearling heifer is worth a bunch of money so I won't hang on to one just to turn her into a cull cow if she's not doing what I want. On#2 Fertility is about 90% environment. You'll see trends in fertility with certain cow families but it's not so heritable that if the cow shows up open all of her daughters will to. She's just an open cow... No biggy. Pound her out and move on. The easiest way to address it in the future is with heterosis involving breeds with a reputation for fertility. You'll never have 100% breedup every year but you can get close. [/QUOTE]
