[QUOTE="dun, post: 77793, member: 34"] For instance. Our old Granny alwasy raised a top calf. We bred her to the same bull two years in a row. The first year the calf was the 2nd heaviest and went to the feedlot and really grew. The next year, same bull, same cow, pretty much the same conditions since all of the other calves did well. That guy was alwasy scrawny, went to the feedlot and only did in the neighborhood of 1.7 adg. I figured tired eggs. This year her calf at 2 days is already a dandy and growing well. A poor genetic nick can I suppose produce an exceptional breeding animal, but they won;t do it at our farm. dun [/QUOTE]
