I have to add to this one, I bought a heifer like this, for this year. I figured I can stick an embryo in her if she doesn't turn out. I got this heifer for minimum bid, a wopping $1600. Mind you I have heifers I paid good money for, with outstanding breeding behind them, a Sullivan's, a black star simmental,a monopoly. Well, a few months after being on feed she started to blow the others out of the water. She's been champion maine/res at every show she's been at as well as supreme overall and res, multiple times. The real kicker on this heifer, is she's an out cross to every bull out there, and I mean all of them. Out of a final answer son. Th and pH free. When ever I look at this heifer, I can't imagine how I got her for that price. Now, I think her role will be reversed her embryos will be going into the others come next year. Sometimes you should go out on a limb and give those under dogs their shot.
