[QUOTE="dun, post: 37927, member: 34"] Disposition, although that hasn't ben a problem for many years, failure to settle by the second service. She must wean at least 50% of her weight. The intangible is the cow just just irritates the snot out of you. We have one that bellers her head off, she'll stand at the fence and look towards you and just carry-on something awfull. She also happens to have a very irritating, loud strident beller. She's heading down the road as soon as we wean in September. Our uearling heifers kept for replacments have to weigh at least 700-750 at spring workup. All of this on strictly pasture ( high endophyte fescue, clover and OG mix), loose mineral, white salt and water. To make a replacement a heifer has to be out of an easy calving, good milking cow/heifer and be sired by a bull that has those same characteristics. She also has to have "the look", can't really describe it but you can tell if she has it or not. Udders, feet and legs have never been a problem but they would also be reasons to have one of the girls grow wheels. dun [/QUOTE]
