[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1606571, member: 12520"] I fear I may have been misunderstood. I did not have a calving wreck, I used a British breed bull on my heifers thinking it might make my life easier. My plan was to sell all British influenced calves from these heifers because I did not want my cow herd to be "contaminated". My learning was that one should just breed to make the best cows possible. If that's straight continental for you, or straight British or a mix then that's just fine. Personally I like a bit of a mix, and would never sell a heifer because of a fear of this "terminal" business. But I don't chase heterosis either, I figure good cows will win the day regardless, so if I'm happy with my cows I feel comfortable using whatever bulls I want and don't fear any repercussions from keeping replacements.
