Do milkman heifers make good cows?

is that like asking...  are people good typers? 

Plenty of variables to consider...

Well, from personal experience, we had one have her 1st calf last spring. She had a nice little udder, not huge, but she had enough to grow a calf. The calf turned out very nice...went to girl in Clarke Co., VA. We were satisfied enough that we bought another Milkman heifer this summer. We're excited to see how she does.

I have 3 MM Heifers right now. One with a fall born calf at her side out of one of our LBW Angus bulls. She is a pretty small framed cow with a nice little udder. The calf she has on her is growing like a weed. The second heifer is due 2-14. She is more on the moderate framed side, but her dam was a pretty big cow. The 3rd is the heifer I am most excited about. She is out of a PB Angus cow and is a good thick heifer. I think that MM can make some viable club cows, but it all depends on the cow they are out of and the individual themselves.
