[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 611411, member: 968"] Any cow that has a good track record of raising a good calf, is fertile & healthy would make a good recip. A Crossbred cow is actually better than a PB cow. But - if you are purchasing cows that you want to remain in your herd - than you should be purchasing cows that fit your breeding program. Not sure where you're coming from on trying to "match" the milking ability of donor & recip. Who cares? If the cow being flushed is worthy of being a donor, than she SHOULD be a good milker, along with being superior to other females in her breed (not just your best cow????) The goal is to have a "great" calf out of the supposedly "great" cow. The recip can be blind in one eye & crooked legged as long as she breeds, stays healthy, milks well & has a good temp. The better the recip milks, the bigger her calf should be at weaning. [/QUOTE]
