[QUOTE="dun, post: 1414901, member: 34"] It isn;t a quick process. Start with good maternal genetics and use good maternal bulls. That's for starters. There will be certain nicks that just don;t work when when by all reason they should. Granted we've cut down to only a couple of dozen cows, but all but 2 go back to just 2 cow familys. The red angus go back to one of our fist red angus cows, the commercial to our old Granny cow that was at one time probably registered black angus since she had tattoos blotted in both ears when we got her at 10 years old. The hardest part is culling hard! We have found that after a couple of generations the cow side is more important than the bull side when it comes to consistancy of the calf crop. Using a bull that goes back to that same cow line will through more to the bull side. Least wise it does for us. [/QUOTE]
