[QUOTE="southernultrablack, post: 1610583, member: 23061"] I’m a small time producer,all registered, and raise a couple bulls a year and sell culls to a feeder. I’ve started my herd by buying small lots of heifers and a few older cows along the way. I’m at the point where I really want to get my cows ultra consistent phenotypically, and genetically. I really don’t mind starting over, as I only have a small herd anyway, and am thinking of buying a donor female and trying to flush her to get a large sample of embryos to put in to try and get that consistency I want. What problems would y’all expect with not having genetic diversity in the herd? I expect that there will still be differences in the cattle produced this way, but I’m thinking this is the most efficient way to go at it. [/QUOTE]
