[QUOTE="FlowerFieldFarm, post: 953972, member: 16324"] Thanks cow pollinater... I already feel more organized after getting it all out on paper. I am actually growing quite fond of the Olie sons :D Really didn't plan on using simmi at first, but if their calves turn out nice and I save heifers, that should give me a more consistent group to work from. Since we do plan to AI, I am now wondering if it would make sense to AI for the maternal strengths and retain heifers from that group, then go ahead and use the SAV genetics to produce a bull calf every year or two as a terminal sire to add lbs to calf crop, but the $EN really won't affect the base herd of cows. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
