[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 366263, member: 2862"] While I certainly agree with using the best bull you can afford, I've got an old girl that would rate right in there with the worst of these pictures, and you could breed her to the ugliest doggoned bull going and still end up with a helluva calf. The problem with trying to judge the worthiness of those poor old froze up cows is that you can't. Being froze up as a calf stunts them up, so you really have no idea what their genetic potential is. That old froze up girl of mine? She's 1200 lbs and delivers me a 650-700lb calf every single fall, including the one year I bred her to a really lousy Maine bull. I've got a couple of her heifers in the crowd that consistently deliver top end calves, and her steers always weigh in the top 5. Wish I had 300 of her around here... Rod [/QUOTE]
