[QUOTE="ShuterSunset, post: 765370, member: 7662"] That is a nice set of cows BRG. Hopefully I can get a chance to get out and see your operation sometime. I agree with your assessment of a maternally oriented cow "To me a good maternal cow should be easy fleshing, deeper made, breeds back year after year, very sound on her feet and legs, has a good solid made udder, and has the ability to raise a top calf every year, without eating the profit away." I don't want to chase the "maternal" numbers, I want to focus on those functional traits that you mentioned. I tend to try to take my "vacations" around cattle trips, but my wife doesn't agree that a trip with cows involved is a "vacation". We also have two young kids so not that I am going to get to do the traveling and evaluating of herds like I would really like to do as we get into this new business. I'm gonna have to try to absorb as much advice from respected people within the breed as I can. Thanks for the PM by the way BRG. [/QUOTE]
