[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1690979, member: 25884"] No, let her raise the calf as a terminal calf.... don't plan on keeping it so you don't have to be concerned about inbreeding down the road. There are some times that a few heifers here will get bred back to their own sire by accident... I keep 2 easy calving bulls and we try to make sure they don't go back with the sire for their breeding.... one reason to have 2 bulls.... and we don't raise alot of heifer calves out of heifers. But once in awhile we will move one to a place to be bred and then realize it was her sire...... I prefer to keep my replacement heifers out of tried and true cows... but sometimes one will stand out, coming off a heifer.... [/QUOTE]
