[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 561282, member: 173"] As you can imagine, her udder has gotten progressively worse over the years, as Brahman and Brahman influenced cows tend to do. I've had nice udders turn ugly after 6+ years. If the udders are ugly after the first calf, the cow is gone. It's a harder decision for me when it takes 10 years for it to get this bad! And this cow has had bull calves ever year, so it hasn't been an issue until now. Her dam (gray Brahman) is the best Brahman in my herd, and she has a heifer every year. Actually, the cow is registered. Percentage Simmentals / Simbrahs can be registered with ASA. So the cow is a registered 1/2 x 1/2 Simmental x Brahman, and the heifer is out of an ugly but very good pedigreed Simmental bull... which makes her a 3/4 Simmental x 1/4 Brahman, which can also be registered. Thanks for the replies! A split decision between shipping and keeping so far! :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
