[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1610601, member: 27490"] Uniformity is a great money maker for the feeder producer. Groups of uniform calves sell well. However, you are a small seedstock producer. The markets for seedstock are diversified so you don't need "cookie cutter" results. Buyers are often looking for something and it is not the same thing as the other guy. I focus on "traits"; not phenotype (although important), - growth, good bone and muscle, conformation, good feet, good udders, etc. Phenotype does not always correlate with function. Personally, I have thought about this same issue (our operations are similar), I concluded that diversity is not a disadvantage (it can be an advantage). IMO, you don't need to start over. [/QUOTE]
