[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1021517, member: 9096"] They get old, they milk well, and they're all docile, those are the biggest things.. They also (for the most part) don't have any bad habits of breaking fences, fighting, digging, and they're all great mothers.. I've never had to pull a correctly positioned calf, and some of them were 140 lbs. Rosie's mother had 14 calves, Rosie has her 16th (but last), and so far we've only culled 4 in that line (after 22 years), Rosie's mother had heart failure or something (possibly due to my very low copper), her first calf was culled at 3 years for being a fencebuster (RA cross), Rosie's first daughter was culled at 7 years for being open, but she had had complications and bad infections from a botched dehorning job which may have contributed, and Rosie's sister Tizia that had a stroke this spring at 9 years old. It's so nice to have cattle that are easy to handle, I notice that with Roma (playing dead in the pics) who leads better than most people's dogs.. Just makes everything easy when you can wean the calves or vaccinate with nothing more than a bucket of grain or a halter. [/QUOTE]
