[QUOTE="JupiterFire, post: 1494240, member: 33106"] Hello. 1st time posting here. My son has a 2 year old registered Hereford heifer. She was bred last year and somehow ended up with a tear in her rectum causing infection early and she lost the calf and her chances of being bred again are unlikely because of scar tissue. We have AI’d her twice since with negative results. She is a nice heifer with solid genetics. Won 2nd in her class at FTW last year but thats as well as she has done. My son who is 16, wants to have her flushed and ET done on some commercial cows that we have. Is it worth it if it even works (and I’m not convinced it will)? We would be taking several cows out of production and would/could it be profitable? We are trying to figure out all the possible outcomes. We would love to confinue her line just because we are fond of her, but fully realize that’s not a legit reason to fund a big priced project! Is there a market for purebred registered calves or would we end up feeding them out to sell at the sale barn? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom! [/QUOTE]
