[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 608850, member: 9096"] when we bought our original 12 cows, they were hereford crosses, apparently had pelvic measurements done, and all that stuff, but were bred to "cow bulls".. simmentals, we had one calf at 130 lbs and he was still premature, we had a couple others that were really hard pulls.. 2 had prolapes.. we ended up losing 3 calves and 2 cows.. of the ones that remained, most did fairly well, though some had bad genes all over and all their offspring would prolapse, or the teats would get all distended after 2 years, or they had hooves that needed to be trimmed at least once a year.. looking at our herd now, 95% of it is offspring from about 3 of those 12 original cows [/QUOTE]
