[QUOTE="got_cows?, post: 151325, member: 2473"] The bull or heifer calf [i]should[/i] be better than the heifer herself since we are trying to improve our herd with each mating. Now to actually keep or ship is dependant on many things. The dam's fertility, mothering ability, structure, temperment, legs, etc. Same goes with the sire and the calf itself. Take each animal on a case by case basis and don't disregard one because it's out of a first calf heifer. We have a heifer out of a 1st calver in our replacement pen right now. She's a beautiful girl that is due to have her first AI calf in April. [/QUOTE]
