[QUOTE="charlie01, post: 1073981, member: 16604"] Would like some thoughts and tips on how to select a red angus heifer/cow to start up a stud. Is it best to looks at EBVs or the structure (showing)? Or even both when starting up? Better to purchase an animal that has been shown as it can add to promotion when selling progeny. Young heifer or old cow? Also any tips on selecting an animal for shows. Eg faults etc I'd like to have growth, muscle and milk my 3 main objectives and maybe even low birthweight. And of course any other tips that you've got to help me start up properly. [/QUOTE]
