Ok so I have some recip cows lined up, pasture lined up, barn lined up, now I just need to know where to look for some of the best maternal genetics via embryos to start a herd with.  Suggestions?

If you are just starting a herd, look for F1 matings. Simmental/Angus or Maine/ Angus or some purebreds of any breed to start then when you have a herd of cows use the 3 way clubby bulls. Stay away from steer mates as cows. Poor milk, high birth weights and then you limit your choices of bulls later.

Contact Ryan Went, Creston, NE. He has some of the best F1 clubby momma genetics.  Does lots of ET work.
