Subject: Re: first calf heifer ?



I agree with Greg. Maternal traits are highly inheritable. Some cattle either have it or they don't. I try to cull heavily for maternal ability, disposition, and intelligence. I don't want cows around that I have to mess with for either physical or mental reasons.

If you can't get her to take this calf soon, I'd graft or sell the calf now and put the heifer in your freezer or sell her after she dries off. Life is too short to mess with this stuff.
