[QUOTE="Bovine breeder, post: 1549822, member: 29557"] [/quote] And the dairy farmers have benefited economically? If 805 lasts years longer, has not problems, can transmit good traits to her offspring and does all that is expected of her, is she a cull? I see a pen of open heifers and know that in 5 years the average heifer will be gone for most folks. I would have a problem culling an 805 because some trait is a little low.
