[QUOTE="capt, post: 634582, member: 3759"] I bred lots of cows for customers to WMW and got lots of reports that they liked the steer calves for showing. Most also showed the heifer calves and never really worried about making cows out of them. Did have one customer keep a nice heifer out of a really good reg. Angus cow that did not settle. Keep in mind that WMW was the result of crossing four breeds of cattle and who knows for sure just what kind of track record of fertility was behind the deal. I do know that his semen was some of the better quality clubbie type put out there as conception rates proved in my experience, but that does not guarantee fertility on down the road. I would guess from the breed background that one could see heavy milking daughters as well as lite milking daughters, there could be fleshing ability problems despite the small frame score, there could be management or disposition issues that affect fertility. In this one case, I would guess that the majority of the cowherd these WMW daughters worked in were not clubbie related and have a well documented track record of good fertility in a harsh environment. Might have been too harsh for WMW daughters, I did have some customers at high altitude have some brisket issues with WMW. Anyhow, just my two cents, take it for what it is worth. [/QUOTE]
