[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 863069, member: 16769"] Am thinking about purchasing a couple of this year's heifers (twins) from a co-worker. They are commercial type, BA-sired, out of a first-time calver that is Heinz 57 on her dam's side, and BA sired. That cow's mother calved this year at age either 22 or 23, and they've bred her back! They're sure on her age, because their 30-year daughter bottle-raised her at age 7 or 8. That old grandma cow still looks pretty darn good! And her daughter, mother of the twins, is a good looking girl and was able to feed both with no problem. Twins are right up there in size where they ought to be. None of the bunch are black. Just for CYA purposes, I'd like to have a couple commercial cattle to run with my British Whites. I know I'll be feeding them for awhile before they are producers, but I really like that longevity factor in the genetics. Am interested in your :2cents: [/QUOTE]
