[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1807082, member: 39072"] Once I changed my selection protocol to never keep a breeding animal that wasn’t completely raised by its mother it made life much easier. And reduced lots of issues.if a cow has the genetic potential to have two calves , then she better have the genetic potential to raise both unassisted and breed back on time. IMHO motherability is a genetic trait and ignorance of that will lead to all kinds of problems both in your herd and in entire populations [/QUOTE]
