[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1579632, member: 968"] I guess since I am more interested in growth compared to milk - they are antagonistic, so never has been a problem. Like I've mentioned, I've had TOO much milk in the early years. Even with the cows with too much milk, I rarely had an udder go bad - strong ligaments. I will say, I have NEVER had a Simmental dam starve her calf. Just not a problem one way or the other. I couldn't tell you if my herd average for milk was high or low. Just never look at it. Not a problem - so not a concern. Edit: Over maybe the past 15 years, I have had 1 cow that I did not like her udder - enough, that I put embryos in her every year since her fist natural calf - she was a purchased cow - so not out of my cow lines. I did not want to propagate the udder. Finally, at the age of 12, calf could not get on teat, so she got shipped this spring. [/QUOTE]
