If you could buy ONE cow....

[Show Heifer]

If you able to buy ONE cow of any breed, up to $10,000 :   

What breed would it be?
What breeders would you go to?
What bloodlines would you look at?
How fast would you plan on making your money back?
What would your plans be for her?

I probably couldn't buy her for 10K; but, I would buy a WHR Sonny x Augusta Pride 3127 from Schrag in SD. The first flush or calf would come close to paying for her.

Very possibly my all time favorite cow was the old Miss Green 148 cow, Foreplay's mother. Chi-Angus, she was bred to Powerplant to produce Foreplay, and other than a fairly prominant toe out, he sure makes em nice.

I can't reincarnate my good foundation cow we called Gramma (Even though there is at least one fella besides ME who would like me to be able to) -- so my pick of the black hided cows -- Miss Green 148 ( I think that is right).

I fell in love with her along time ago.

Oh my gosh Terry, that is just who I thought of too! Wow, are you starting to rub off on me! I don't like to play w/ people's asses though.  Heehee
I love that cow.
I'm like Shortdawg though, I'd also buy a really good flush & go from there. I'm not sure who though. Would be high % Maine & clean though.

OK - can't follow directions - these are my 3 picks - all Maines - 2 purebred, one fullblood - Have viewed all in person - even touched them (I believe they are all gone now) - big, deep sound feminine cows that move like cats no big feet

JMP Zelda 43Z (Smithbilt x Megaton cow) born 1990, black white sox
ZTA Miss BLK Ruby 224X (Midas x Epinal -Cunia cow) born 1988, black
AOM Topsy 290T (Star Michel x Border Creek Future) born 1985, red and white

and to the other related questions
I would flush Zelda to Midas (have embryos in my tank  ;D)
I would flush Ruby to DJ Patent or maybe Smithbilt
and I would flush Topsy to Gizmo
