[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1662960, member: 39695"] We don't have the best cattle in the world, but I guarantee we have better cattle than we did twenty years ago. We got here because only the top 20% of heifers get to go through a pre breeding exam. Some of those don't pelvic measure. Then there's always one that doesn't breed that should have. By the time we calve we are usually down to 14 or 15 hfrs for every 100 cows. We buy Hereford bulls from a very reputable breeder. We were looking over a pen of weanling bull calves. A buddy picked out a very impressive, thick made calf. The herdsman told us that he was not for sale as a bull because he weighed over 100lbs when he was born. He said they would cut him and sell him as a club calf. They did not believe in passing on those heavy genetics. [/QUOTE]
