[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 429379, member: 2308"] I am comparing her to the rest of our heifers. She is one of the top producing heifers this year, and is even out doing some of the cows. We sell by the pound, and she is definitely putting pounds on the calf. Why did we keep her? Mostly out of curiosity. Both the Shorthorn and Gelbveih breeds are known for milk and maternal traits, and we were curious to see how they would work. Her mother in fact was NOT supposed to be bred Gelbveih, but we had trouble with the bulls that year, and ended up with all of our Shorthorn cows having Gelbveih calves. She was the only heifer out of them. She had good growth and was a reasonably well built (I am sure there are faults that you or others could point out). Her mother has a good udder, and the bull was a previous herdsire to a friend/neighbour's registered herd and had produced some pretty good females there. As for EPD's I have no idea what the sire has, and the dam was a commercial cow and has none. Hope that covered everything. [/QUOTE]
