[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1562906, member: 20754"] We had a similar experience with the father-daughter matings. Phenotypically, the calves looked good, but they did not have the weight or growth of the other calves. The cow that we bred back to her son (Tony), is the very best in our herd. Every year, her calves have been either number one or number two in the entire herd. These are our three females from mother to son matings. The first is pictured as a 2 year old bred heifer, the next is pictured at 3 years, and the calf is a month old. The first female, 406, weaned a terrific heifer calf in 2017 as a first calf heifer, and in 2018, she weaned a bull calf that was 51% of her body weight. The 514 female is due to have her second calf in the next couple of weeks. She did well with her first calf, and I have high hopes for her as well.
