Raindances have all been super consistent
Have your Presidents? I know you've liked them. Have they been consistent for you?
We've liked most of them. There's a few that are not as good as we'd have hoped. I think some of them were on Dams that were below average. We did breed our best cow to him and he's been a little disappointing. He did get sick as a young calf though.
The Raindance calves are all at the top of our herd. Most were ET sexed heifer Embryos. Some of the best young heifers we've ever had.
If I had to pick between President and Raindance I'd breed most to Raindance.
We just did another flush to President last week though.
Getting sick makes a difference. We have an ET calf that isn't performing like his flush mates. Pretty rough looking, actually. I was on the road yesterday and hubby called. He asked if I had sent the samples off yet because he wasn't sure we should even register him (he's an Epic so I was testing NH first)
We are setting up a cow to breed this week. Flushing to Supercharger. Her dam is Basin Lucy 338R and she's (dam) recorded some darn good progeny. I'm pretty excited about this one. I think Supercharger on my Lucy is going to be a great match.
