[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 498117, member: 5362"] Here's part of my problem with the use of 40/50 year old bulls, where's the carcass data that shows they do any better than todays top carcass bulls ?. One of the other problems I have with it, you also mentioned, performance, 40/50 year old bulls, don't have any. So you are breeding on a single trait selection, carcass. Greenwillowhereford II mentioned the herd of Mr. Day who use's the old lines of 40/50 years ago, but with 700lb weaning weights, I doubt he using 40/50 year old bulls, these are todays Hereford, old lines that have been improved over the last 40 years, not 40 year old butter balls used today to improve only one trait. I would also do the same as you. I still think a cow needs to prove herself calf wise and maternally before she becomes a donor cow. I liked the old method of at least 3 calves to prove her worth before flushing. [/QUOTE]
