I'm beginning to think it's impossible to find a quality set right now. To make matters worse, I flushed two cows Saturday and froze 31 and 28 out of them.

Out of curiosity, what do you look for in quality recip cows?

Out of curiosity, what do you look for in quality recip cows? Right now I'm looking for F1 BWF open heifers. I'll put embryos in them in June. Calve them out, bull breed them for calf number 2 then everyone that is still on schedule will get embryos from calf 3 on. At this point I may even consider heifer calves and breed them in December. Going forward all recips will be cleaned up with Angus bulls and the resulting heifer calves will be retained as well. The only way I'll consider bringing in a group is if I know their background and they are on a documented health program.
