[QUOTE="ROB, post: 503429, member: 3467"] currently, i save all replacement heifers out of one bloodline on the female side. in my herd this particular bloodline has consistently produced the best calves...and have shown to be the easiest of keepers as mature cows. what i am wanting to do now is save the best of the best. since nearly all the heifer prospects are consistent in performance and conformation, it's getting more difficult to "visually" make a sound decision on new replacement heifers. that is why if feel i should be looking at actual performance tests (RFI and not ADG). with the excessive price of hay, grains, and protein...i want to get ahead of the game as much as possible to trim my operating costs.
