    millbrook dartagnan (in my opinion best ai lim bull available) heifer calf born yesterday. Hoping that crossing a terminal bull on a maternal cow will be produce a better type cow

    Lovely outfit Robin but unfortunately I can't think of a better way to breed the milk out of cows than putting Dartagnan on them and keeping the heifers.
    I kept two off milky black whitehead cows and they hadn't enough milk to feed a mouse. Had to sell the calves and fatten the heifers.

    He's a super terminal bull tho. I can't see any Vantastic son being good for milk.

    That's good to know tanko. I will remember this advice when a.i'ing this spring.

    Saturday was such a great day here I decided to let a handful of heifers out to graze down a field a bit where I will be putting out slurry soon. The weather turned on Sunday and by Sunday evening they were waiting at the gate and didn't have to be asked twice to run back in to the shed.

    Haha! That she does! She's as quiet as a lamb though. Still can't figure out how I missed her when she was a calf.
