[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1720776, member: 968"] Well, I have the dams, granddams, and great-granddams (some still in production) of the bull calves I show. I have one cow family (my #9 or #29 - had so many I had to reduce it to #9) that goes back to the 70's. So, I have generations behind most all my cows in my herd. It is rare that I get a "surprise" calf. Yes, the bull obviously will change her offspring if I use a super moderate or a super growth bull - but, pretty much my calves are stamped with the same phenotype - the type I like. I occasionally purposely work to add a new cow family into my herd, by purchasing a "tried and true" mature cow - or embryos out of a proven dam (not just the latest new shining star). [/QUOTE]
