[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1814906, member: 32879"] I am much in agreement with the importance of the female line in keeping heifers. Most of my cows descend from an old "Boss" cow we called Whitebelly. She was a rangy sort of raw boned cow out of a Holstein-Hereford cow by a Red Poll bull. She was kind of ugly, red with a white belly, and always in the lead going to new pasture or coming to the barn. She calved regularly well into her teens. I bred her to a number of different bulls of varied colors and she always had a good one. Her descendants, almost without fail, have good bags and breed on time. They are docile without being pets and I just love them. They do have a tendency for big feet but never had one get bad enough I had to cull it for that reason. [/QUOTE]
