[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1210547, member: 9267"] Admirable end goal. I'd like to get there one day - though in reality, by then I may have moved the goalposts so that the cows I 'would keep a heifer out of' are still a fraction of the herd. Unless you have gold-lined pockets and don't need the income from your cows, I think you might get there just as fast by putting a terminal bull over every cow you wouldn't want heifers out of, and not keeping their heifers. In the meantime that group of cows is working for you, without having any genetic influence on your herd. They don't get second chances if they slip up - the bad tempered or lower production or really ugly cows don't get to calve at the wrong end of the calving season here. [/QUOTE]
