[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1470369, member: 21715"] I believe your most consistent calves will come from reasonably tightly bred mama cows bred to reasonably tightly bred bulls. By definition, registered cattle (due to known pedigrees (which assumes everyone was honest)) will have fewer genetic surprises than commercial cattle. So, that right there indicates that mossy registered cattle are more tightly bred than commercial cattle (although there are exceptions, like a couple of closed commercial herds I know of). To get even more tightly bred, you'd need to find a breeder who was breeding the way you wanted to breed and buy from them. Finding cattle close to your operation who are managed consistent to how you plan on raising them should be you're first goal. IMO. [/QUOTE]
