[QUOTE="organicguy, post: 7593364, member: 20864"] Best advice above about deciding your type of cow before you start and don't be told by the rep what you would like! With proven bulls, what the linear shows is what you get. Within the black and whites, because the population is so big, you can find a bull to do anything. High fert, high components, whatever type you want but not all at once. Look at the cows you have now and decide which traits will you cull for going forward; will it be bad feet, not in calf, collapsed udders, milk quality. Try to breed an even herd of cows,it makes the management easier as you can then treat them all the same(I'm not a fan of cross breeding to correct deficiencies because of the variation in cow type.
