[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 688949, member: 5106"] Sometimes the genes just do not work out. Even a really deep pedigreed cow with tons of awards, bred to the top sire in the industry will give you a real piece of crap that should be knocked on the head . Case in point <<dairy people will know these two names right away>>> Acme Starbuck Lilly 6EX ,bred to Rudolf EX (top sire in North America and most parts of the world for confirmation and milk for at least a year and a half) The chosen progeny to be used for an AI sire was the pits sh$tty, he did not even make it through the young sire rounds. I think we got to use 5 straws of him when he was pulled and yes 3 took and all bull calves that soon became steers. You are doing the right thing, next time it will work out better . [/QUOTE]
