[QUOTE="rain dance, post: 1363253, member: 25835"] This spring I bought a real nice black angus 1st calf cow with a heifer on her side. I saw the bull and was told he was a piedmont but didn't now much of anything about the breed at the time and she looked like a normal calf. We'll after sometime I noticed how muscular she had become and then learned they carry a double muscling gene somewhat like a Belgium blue. Have heard mixed things about them. I called the man I bought her from and didn't notice double muscled cows in his heard but he said she would be ok to breed. Some literature says they are terminal crosses only and have reduced fertility. Has anyone had experience with retaining cross piedmont heifers? I really would like to expand the herd as I have way more pasture then cows plus her mom has a great temperament, good maternal instincts and a very nice build. [/QUOTE]
