She was the most fertile cow that I have ever had, she had perfect udders, and I never had eye problems out of her. The problem was that she never raised a calf much over 400 pounds in 7 to 8 months. I have thought about checking with Fowler or Dillard in the spring of 2014 and see if they have any bulls with high WW and high BW epds that they would sell me.

Did you ever think her moderate milk and calf growth had something to do with her extreme fertility and fleshing in your environment?
