[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 664619, member: 968"] Aussie-cg - that was super - got it!!! you did great :tiphat: That explains a lot. Originally, when we were building our herd, our heifers were always better than our male calves. We always chalked it up as "good luck". But, in the beginning, our AI sires were superior to our cows. So, if the dam was the heaviest influence on male calves & the sire had equal influence on the heifer calves, you would see slightly better heifers than bulls if the sire was superior to the dam. Do I have it right??? [/QUOTE]
