[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1509354, member: 27490"] I make most of my decisions on retaining heifers for my herd based on how I like the dam. When Fire Sweep did an evaluation of my calves in March, I told her that I was keeping Priceless for myself. She replied that she had a slightly tilted hip. I said yes, so does her Dam. She responded that it was not a good trait for calving. I responded that her Dam is the easiest calving cow in the herd. Every year, I watch her spit out 100 pound calves - she is a big cow and her calves average 93 pounds - like they are watermelon seeds. The cow has a great pedigree, bred by Rocking P as part of their Hudson Pine Farm partnership. So I will trade a few flaws in phenotype for a good pedigree and knowing the dam proved herself. She called it the hip - I am referring to the pelvis. [/QUOTE]
