[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 625962, member: 4353"] I agree that the cow in question is certainly thinner than I like, but conditions outside our control often play such a big role that I've given her the benefit of the doubt. Conditions vary too much for such a broad statement to hold true in all cases. For my conditions and also for those with really harsh winters, or summers for that matter, we need a cow that can build up a reserve to use as an emergency energy supply. I have no place for cows that milk themselves to a bag of bones as they will invariably end up open, if not the next year, then the year after. Contrary to popular believe you can get cows that milk well, raise a top calf, stay in good condition year round and do that every year. [/QUOTE]
