[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 225814, member: 539"] Ok, let me ask you a question - imagine for one moment that you are an animal that has no way of communicating, you're stuck with instinct and instinct alone. One day, out of a clear blue sky, you're grazing along, minding your own business and you start experiencing labor pains - except you don't know they are labor pains, all you know is you're hurting. Don't you think that might cause a little confusion, as well as the tendency to reject the little creature that was ejected from your backside unless you have a good strong maternal instinct? Having done some showing with our animals, it sounds to me like you might be farther ahead to select your animals based on different criteria. Just for the record, all show heifers are NOT stupid (if they are selected correctly) and it generally helps if the owner is smarter than the heifer and puts a little effort into understanding the heifer.
