[QUOTE="regolith, post: 728348, member: 9267"] I've milked several groups of heifers by Premier Sires teams. Pulled lots of calves sired by them as well. I wouldn't be doing it either. This year I had the two groups running side by side - my first group of heifers from nominated matings, plus some Premier sires heifers. Out of five Premier Sires heifers from my own herd, I think I got two good ones. In the rest of the line - maybe two to three low producers and all of those from low production cows. Some of the bought-in heifers are better not mentioned ! The big problem I have with this system is that the whole of NZ genetics is restricted by the genetic progress of this one company, and the direction they decide to progress. Don't ask me why they use bulls with lethal genes, high calving difficulty, atrocious temperament, poor udders - randomly across the nation's cows. [/QUOTE]
