[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 385061, member: 852"] I've a half-angus heifer calf out of this cow (her first calf)... this picture is taken right after freshening with her 2nd calf. I'm looking for the opinions of y'all beef folks, because I don't generally deal with multiple generations like you do. [img]http://cattletoday.com/photos/data/500/medium/cow54may07.jpg[/img] [img]http://cattletoday.com/photos/data/500/cow54udder.jpg[/img] This cow looked really good her first lactation, but I don't like the look of her udder this go-around. She just has too much depth, and she's not going to hold up for many more years. So, if you had a half-angus calf out of this cow, what's the chance that the calf's udder would 1) look like this, 2) hold up for at least 3-4 lactations, 3) be one calves could nurse off without help? I'd like to keep the calf as a nurse cow, but I want a low-maintanance, easy keeping, long-lasting nurse cow. :P After I saw this cow and remembered she was the dam to one of my heifers... I'm just having second thoughts about keeping the calf. On the positive side, this cow had an 11 month calving interval. What do y'all think? would you take a chance on her calf? [/QUOTE]
