[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 596352, member: 8978"] I'll agree with Knersie on this one. Most people know which cows in their herd are doing a really good job of making you money? Those are the cows you want to raise your replacements...and yep those tend to be the big stout heifer calves. Good udders, good feet, good dispositions, good conformation on the mothers are a "must" on our place. We are not real keen on milking cows, trimming feet, or getting killed! Choose your bulls carefully. Look at his momma. Get the stats if possible. Try to look beyond the lard! Now I will admit I'm a sucker for a good curly haircoat, but never let that overide the other points. [/QUOTE]
