[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 822507, member: 1715"] I picked a group of replacement heifers when they had their first shots. Really nice and uniform. Added two more to the replacement group when they got boosters. Their mothers were heavy milkers and it was starting to show. Had second thoughts on a couple Bwf when I sorted off and sold the culls in February. Their mothers were small Herefords and had gone dry over the winter. Still nice heifers, but not so uniform any more. Is weaning percent a good way to level the field and avoid getting too dairy, or should I just focus on average uniform size for weanlings and cull both extremes? [/QUOTE]
