[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1673308, member: 9096"] On a herd of about 20, I keep about 4 heifers a year.. in 2011 I kept 4 heifers and they're still all here and good cows, some years are better than others.. couple years ago I just had a very poor choice and kept some I didn't like all that much, one was no good and sold her after the first calf, I have some others that don't look pretty but seem to do alright. As I have better stuff that's proven itself I'll replace them Calves are looking more and more uniform though, one closest to me here is from my homeraised bull, fits right in, a smidge darker but he's a real chunker [ATTACH type="full"]3302[/ATTACH] the nicest cows don't always make the nicest calves so sometimes it's a little hard to tell what's going to turn out good.. This heifer is a great example of that, I really like her [ATTACH type="full"]3303[/ATTACH] Momma.. a bit bony, but she does well [ATTACH type="full"]3305[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
