[QUOTE="1848, post: 73037, member: 1303"] I guess since cul8r ain't gunna respond, we will make our own forum... :) That's a step in the right direction. Just concentrate on fertility and let the cards fall where they may Sounds like you have your priorities right. Breeders don't have to be big to have quality. A 10 to 15 head operation can breed nothing but the best if they do it right, and they can make money doing it too. Can't blame yourself. You did good salvaging her and letting her raise a calf. This is kinda my philosophy. I want all my cows to be capable of producing bull calves that I know will make good herd bulls (ones that I would use), based on phenotype, EPD's, and genetics....If I use this as a standard, then I know I am breeding for the right things (talking seedstock here). If I use cows with good maternal traits, then it will be passed into the bull. If I don't get a bull, then I still have all my ducks in a row for the replacement side too.... :) You're right..they do! Teaches them kids all kinda good stuff! Good luck! Right again, why complain? I think it is important to develop a herd that raises a consistent and uniform calf crop across the board, more than concentrating on just a few great ones. I think that is every cattlemans goal. Me too! [/QUOTE]
