[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1210592, member: 9096"] I think nearly everyone has two herds.. the herd of cows you hope to get lots of heifers from for replacements, Probably because they've proven themselves as profitable AND have other good traits.. And then the rest of the cows you wish would have only bull calves and they'd take care of nutting them themselves.. Yes, they still make a calf every year, but don't have what it takes to want a heifer from. We've moved the goalposts a couple times already.. Starting with about 16 original cows, we're down to the offspring of 6 of them.. of those, we thought for sure we were going to want to keep all the offspring of about 3 of them.. as time went on we found they routinely disappointed, and by next fall the last descendants of 2 of them will be off to the sale barn.
