[QUOTE="mrvictordomino, post: 772873, member: 14333"] Thank you for the complements. I have been working on this herd for over thirty-five years. I have definitely done it my way, ignoring the fads of the day and any single trait selection. I believe you will find high maternal cattle tend to have positive IMF numbers, and this herd is definitely that. I would hope that the little extra back fat numbers would help indicate that our cattle are easy fleshing and can mature a little earlier than some others. The Anhinga Farms influence in this herd is basically from two bulls purchased in 1984 and 1986. The latter being the 579 bull that is in many of our pedigrees several times. With the herd being closed since 1987 to outside females, and the fact that we have a line-breeding program, I would think that if there were any issues pertaining to HY we would have seen it twenty years after we used these bulls.
