[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1330833, member: 24583"] I agree completely. I'm probably to lenient on my culling. Mostly bc good replacements are hard to find. But I'm almost to the point that I'm able to retain enough heifers to raise my own replacements so that should help. Not to hijack, but regarding longevity..... I bought a bull last year to keep replacements out of. I selected him by EPDs first, then phenotype, and lastly because his momma was 17 years old and the oldest cow on the breeders farm. How much, if any, of this longevity trait SHOULD he pass on to his daughters? [/QUOTE]
