[QUOTE="Lazy M, post: 1475177, member: 19946"] Sorted through our calves to pick out the heifers to retain yesterday. We were making our last cut and I am still kind of stuck on one. This one particular heifer is clearly not one of my best. Nothing structurally wrong with her, but she is pretty plain and I clearly have ones that look better than her that I sorted out. However, her dam, grand dam, and great grand dam are all still in the herd and have been excellent cows..always one of the first to calve, raise bigger than average calves, and have great udders and dispositions. What do you think; would you hold a heifer based mainly on family history or just go with a better looking individual? [/QUOTE]
