[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1173810, member: 16303"] While genetics are important, in a situation such as this, environment and management have more of an impact on the performance of these cattle and offspring. Have talked to guys that have bought cattle from some of the "big boys" that were weaning of 750 -800 pound plus calves, thinking that by adding this type of cattle, they could come in and improve their herds through the offspring. But after they calved and when weaning time came, the calves from these cows didn't perform as well as their own cattle did. I think there would only be a couple of reasons to bring in cattle from several states away. (1) genetics that are otherwise unavailable, (2) a certain pedigree. [/QUOTE]
