Yes, but my partner will keep breeding a good registered heifer - cow 4 or 5 times AI, put a embryo or two in her and then turn her in with a bull for a few more tries. It's hard to cull something with good numbers.
The ones that don't have too be pampered and propped up getting there.outside of routine maintenance...True Grit Farms said:Myself, I want a cow that provides a live calf at least every 12 months.

That is not my idea of a fertile animal. I would get frustrated and send her out.

Tattoo her number in her ear and its never a problem..She looses her tag, you still have her number.
