[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1709352, member: 498"] When the sexed semen first came out the dairy farmers used it on all the cows. Dairy heifers soon became a dime a dozen. They wised up and started using it on just their best cows. The rest get Angus because those calves bring more than a straight Holstein. A few years ago one of the dairy farmers I was working with had a little pen of Holstein bulls out by the road with a sign that said free calves. One evening he went to bed there was 6 calves in the pen. In the morning there was 9 calves there. [/QUOTE]
