[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1313842, member: 13402"] UG As far as variation with full sibs our experience proves that can happen, as far as bringing disease into your herd that is why you should always have a quarenteen period for all new animals introduced into your herd. Our experience is limited to one pregnancy purchase but as stated earlier the best thing we got was the recip she is just a super good cow, always raising a calf at the top end of the herd. We do purchase embryos and put them into our own recips, we have had some really nice herd additions doing this but we have also had some that just didn't pan out, but they end up getting sold by the pound. Not all makings are going to work the key is don't be afraid to cull no matter how impressive the pedigree. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
