Subject: RE: Calving order - heifers first or cows first?


North Mo.
My remark was from factual experience on maybe 10 or more can't really remember the number of angus bulls from 1980 or so all performance tested which is ok for a terminal bull but makes poor cows for grazing. It got so bad I cussed every time I bought a bull for years I was unable to find seed stock producers which were hard on their cows. Funny part is we had a local guy a good friend of mine he died maybe 8 years ago, that grazed his bulls on pasture and his cows were pretty small by the standards promoted by University officals. I made fun of him as I was part of the gotta feed them to see who is best crowd. He was far ahead of his time and I wish I could tell him so now. Ben
