[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 616769, member: 5106"] Well I have always been taught and still believe to this day that your heifers are you future herd and it has certainly been proven true in the dairy world. Especially is you are optimizing your genetics by choosing the best sires to improve your herd. Two of my highest ween weights and most promising heifers are out of heifers, and you betcha I am keeping them . The dams were out of AI sires and then bred to our clean up bull who was out of an AI sire.. Next spring the heifers will be AI'd to another promising sire. I love heifers and in 3-4 years if you are doing your job right they will put some of those 6-10 year olds to shame on having great calves.. :nod: [/QUOTE]
