Put angus embryos in hefeirs?

[Carm]

I have Shorthorns but may get some Duff New Attraction X Leachman Saugahatchee 3000C embryos.  Would they be OK (calving wise) in well grown shorthorn heifers?

Some may differ, If it's your only source for Recips it can if you do your research!  Several years ago I had a partner and we had an Angus operation!  We put embryos in virgen heifers several years and got along pretty good!  We made sure that the mating was calving ease and the heifers were  pelvic measured!  Take a look at the sires in both sides of the embryos pedigree and how they are for calving ease! Also look at the calving ease EPDS of the mating!

This is not ideal but we did have some luck!

The other problem with heifers is that it is hard for them to raise as big an as good a calf as a real good cow, an when you put in embryo's an the cost you want them to have best chance they can to look the very best at weaning .
