[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 762008, member: 4353"] Very few of the retained heifers born here gets culled, the bought in heifers the % is much larger. I'd say 10% of my own heifers gets culled either for not milking heavy enough or failing to breed back on time, about 30%- 40% of bought in heifers never make it to their second calving. Every so often I get it wrong with an AI bull and that % goes up, but I haven't used any new bulls for the last 4 years so its pretty steady at the moment. [/QUOTE]
