[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1002725, member: 9096"] I noticed that the really beefy looking heifers from this bull tend to not have very good udders, and a quick inspection of this granddaughter shows 5 teats, which isn't a good thing... I found that as long as they have an even number, 4 or 6, and they're evenly spaced, it's all good.. but the really beefy cousin (Cenci) is bagging up now for her first calf and i'm not fond of her udder, and I'm sure that this trait is coming from the bull as all her maternal siblings, mother, and grandmother had excellent udders. She is a real nice calf though. In 2 years Mega will be bred to the simmi bull I showed on a different thread here, and i figure those will be daughters to keep for sure. As it stands now, that granddaughter is 12 days old, and still can't keep up with Mega's milk, so I've been milking her daily and we haven't had to buy any.. She's just learned to count to 4 (but Mega has 6 working quarters), so I've started giving her a bit of grain too. Mega is a doll to work with, when I want milk, i just go there with my milk bucket and fill it up and she stands there nicely... a couple times she laid down in the middle of it though.. little brat [/QUOTE]
