[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 978285, member: 13402"] All forage Our short term goal is to have 150 purebred cows. We currently have around 90 with the balance being commercial cows. We use the commercial as recips we flushed three of our own cows so we are utilizing our own genetics. The purchased embryos are out of proven genetics lines that we want to inject into our herd. Our long term goal is to have all purebred cattle that are all flush quality females, as you know not all cows no matter what the genetic package work. We cull hard so it will take time to reach these goals. As to rearranging our genetic future I would have to disagree, when you start looking at our pedigrees you would see that there is a plan in place. The most difficult part of breeding cattle is staying on track, it is so easy to chase the new hot bull we try very hard to stay within our plan. Lon Thanks your right it is our job as seed stock producers to seek perfection, even though we realize that we probably will never reach that goal. If we ever quit trying it is time to disperse because at that point you have lost the passion of the quest. Jscunn Thanks my friend we flushed the old EXT/Traveler 71 cow to Boyd New Day 8005 that cross has worked so well for us that I just could'nt resist. This cow is 13 years old so we are giving her a year off and flushing her a couple more times. The other cow is another 13 year old Cow that we purchased from the Fink program as an open heifer. She has done a fine job for us we have three daughters in production that are doing great jobs. This is the kind we want, maybe not the pretty type but a hard working kind. We flushed her to our 6149 bull he is a wulff's EXT out of the Donna J311 cow. We have two daughters out of this mating and like them enough to want more. Now we just have to see how many calves we get. We used several wet two year olds so that could hurt our conception rate a bit. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
