[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 970962, member: 7509"] My feelings also - I'm working on that. I save everything out of her except the first one which I steered before I knew what I had. Her two heifers have turned into very good cows on their own. I have saved the last 2 bull calves out of her and used them to spread her genes around to the other cow families. One of her bull calves shared with my neighbors this year sired the heaviest group avg calf weight they have ever sold - and that is in a dry year. Here is a not very good photo of Molly's bull calf from this year sired by my Huth U070 bull. This one should be better yet once he matures. I will use him to (hopefully) spread some of Molly's genes around to other cow families. an experiment. [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_1564_Mollys2012bullcalf_120512.jpg[/img] He has had almost zero grain, no creep. 647 lb 205 day adj ww. 245 days old in the picture from a couple days ago. Long and low, very good SC. Now in a separate pasture on hay and what grass they can find with my youngest/lightest/worst steer (in the background) to keep him company over the winter. Plan seems to be working but just takes a LONG time. Thanks for the kind words all. Jim [/QUOTE]
