[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 55401, member: 637"] I am buying some registered stock to up the gene pool in my herd so they will come out looking like the one you are worried about. :lol: I would love to have every cow to have that genetic trait. I have seen so many cows that look half starved because the farmers think they will calve easier. Then I see a field of well conditioned cattle, not overweight, but in good condition, and most of the cows have calves at their side. The calves are more full than the others. From what I am reading, if the cow is in below average condition, the calf will suffer from it also. Then when it is weaning time, it still has not caught up to those that were fed to keep them in condition. Then the cow can be hard to breed back. I would be keeping the heifers out of that calf to replace some of the other cows that aren't easy keepers. [/QUOTE]
