[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1509400, member: 32644"] From Burke Teichert: 8 Frequently asked questioned-answered [url=http://www.beefmagazine.com/management/burke-teichert-8-frequently-asked-questions-answered]http://www.beefmagazine.com/management/ ... s-answered[/url] last paragraph: Selecting the right seedstock provider? Commercial cattlemen have paid so much money for the wrong kind—high growth, high carcass—for so long that seedstock providers are incentivized to do the wrong thing for commercial maternal herds. There is nothing wrong with growth and carcass; and in terminal herds it is highly desirable. In maternal herds, other traits are more important. You need to find someone who will help you find bulls to produce functional and efficient females—moderate size and milk, physical soundness, high fertility on low inputs, calving ease, survivability and good longevity. Your seedstock provider also should help you include heterosis for better fertility and survivability in your cows. [/QUOTE]
